STATING A MEASUREMENT I N EVERY MEASUREMENT THERE IS A N UMBER FOLLOWED BY A U NIT FROM A MEASURING DEVICE T HE NUMBER SHOULD ALSO BE AS PRECISE AS THE MEASUREMENT !
10
SOME TOOLS FOR MEASUREMENT Which tool(s) would you use to measure: A. temperature B. volume C. time D. weight
12
You can measure the length of ANYTHING! When we measure length we measure how long something is.
13
Standard units Millimeters (mm) Centimeters (cm) Meters (m) Kilometers (km)

The formula for finding the volume of a rectangle is …. L x W x H = Volume This means we take the length times the width, then multiply that by the height.

Measuring Volume Top Image: http://www.tea.state.tx.us/student.assessment/resources/online/2006/grade8/science/images/20graphicaa.gif Bottom Image: http://morrisonlabs.com/meniscus.htm 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 is the volume of water in the cylinder? _____mL 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 Images created at http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/primaryframework/downloads/SWF/measuring_cylinder.swf What is the volume of water in each cylinder? Pay attention to the scales for each cylinder.

VOLUME DISPLACEMENT A SOLID DISPLACES A MATCHING VOLUME OF WATER WHEN THE SOLID IS PLACED IN WATER. WHEN THE SOLID IS PLACED IN WATER.

Choose Lessons Volume & Displacement 10 cm 9 cm 8 cm We can measure the volume of regular object using the formula length x width x height. _____ X _____ X _____ = _____ http://resources.edb.gov.hk/~s1sci/R_S1Science/sp/e n/syllabus/unit14/new/testingmain1.htm We can measure the volume of irregular object using water displacement. Amount of H 2 O with object = ______ About of H 2 O without object = ______ Difference = Volume = ______
23
Density is defined as mass per unit volume. It is a measure of how tightly packed and how heavy the molecules are in an object. Density is the amount of matter within a certain volume. Density
