August 14 Thank you for not chewing gum Today’s Agenda: Objective:
Bell work Finish Distance lab? Volume Notes/Lab Science-o-Graphy DUE! Materials: Pencil, ruler, science notebook, science folder, metric packet, flipbook Objective: Today we will practice measuring volume. Daily Question: Why can it sometimes be better to start measuring at 1 instead of using the end of your ruler?

kL cL mL L Metric Units Metric Units
Volume: is the amount of space an object takes up. The base unit of volume in the metric system is the liter and is represented by L. Metric Units 1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL) 1 milliliter (mL) = 1 cm3 (or cc) = 1 gram* Volume=length x width X height * When referring to water Liter Image:

English vs. Metric Units
Which is larger? A. 1 liter or 1 gallon B. 1 liter or 1 quart C. 1 milliliter or 1 fluid ounce 1 fl oz = ml 1 12-oz can of soda would equal approximately 355 ml. 1 gallon = 3.79 liters It would take approximately 3 ¾ 1-liter bottles to equal a gallon. 1 quart = liters

What is the volume of water in the cylinder? _____mL
Measuring Volume We will be using graduated cylinders to find the volume of liquids and other objects. Read the measurement based on the bottom of the meniscus or curve. When using a real cylinder, make sure you are eye-level with the level of the water. What causes the meniscus? A concave meniscus occurs when the molecules of the liquid attract those of the container. The glass attracts the water on the sides.

Measuring Liquid Volume
What is the volume of water in each cylinder? Images created at A B C Pay attention to the scales for each cylinder.
6
Measuring Solid Volume
10 cm 9 cm 8 cm We can measure the volume of regular object using the formula length x width x height. _____ X _____ X _____ = _____ We can measure the volume of irregular object using water displacement. Amount of H2O with object = ______ About of H2O without object = ______ Difference = Volume = ______

Volume Lab Work on Flip book when done – Distance OR VOLUME
Answer questions 1 & 2 with your lab group. 3 – 4 should be answered individually.
8
Students will be able to measure using the metric system
SCORE 4.0 IN ADDITION TO SCORE 3.0 YOU ARE ABLE TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND BY APPLYING WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THE METRIC SYSTEM. YOU CAN TEACH ANOTHER STUDENT ABOUT THE METRIC SYSTEM. SCORE 3.0 YOU UNDERSTAND HOW TO MEASURE USING THE METRIC SYSTEM. SCORE 2.0 WITH NO HELP YOU HAVE A PARTIAL UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO MEASURE USING THE METRIC SYSTEM. SCORE 1.0 WITH HELP YOU MAY HAVE A PARTIAL UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO MEASURE USING THE METRIC SYSTEM. SCORE 0.0 EVEN WITH HELP YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO MEASURE USING THE METRIC SYSTEM.
9
THE METRIC CONVERSION CHART (LADDER METHOD) To convert to a larger unit, move decimal point to the right or multiply. To convert to a smaller unit, move decimal point to the left or divide
10
