1 Metrics and Measurements
AIM: To be able to accurately measure and record data

2 Volume Volume is defined by the amount of space an object takes up Volume can be measured by a ruler or a graduated cylinder Volume is measured by the units mL or cm3 Volume is measured three different ways V=LxWxH

3 Three Ways to Measure Volume
Liquids - measure the meniscus using a graduated cylinder Regular solids - measure length, width, and height with a ruler Irregular solids - measure water displacement with a graduated cylinder

4 The Metric System Measure the volume of the liquid in the graduated cylinder. What is the most volume that could be measured by this graduated cylinder? 16.0 mL 25.0 mL

5 Water Displacement V = Volume final - Volume original
50.0 mL = 150.0mL mL

6 -273 C is known as Absolute Zero
Temperature Temperature measures how hot or cold an object is It is the average kinetic energy of an object Temperature is measured by a thermometer Temperature is measured by the units Celsius , Kelvin, or Fahrenheit °C °F K -273 C is known as Absolute Zero

7 Can you read the temperatures?
212 oF 100 oC 98.6 oF 68 oF 32 oF 37 oC 20 oC 0 oC Boiling Point Body Temp Room Temp Freezing Point Fahrenheit oF Celsius oC

8 Water Boils 100°C or 212°F Body Temperature  37°C or 98.6°F Room temperature 20°C or 68 – 70 °F Water Freezes 0°C or 32°F

9 Absolute zero -273°C or 0 Kelvin
Convert Celsius to Kelvin  C° = K What would 0°C be in the Kelvin scale?   What would 100°C be in the Kelvin scale?   0 °C = 273 K 100°C = 373 K

10 The Metric System What is the most amount of volume that could be measured by this beaker. What is the temperature of the water?
