1. The Metric System

2. Length

3. Length is a measurement of distance.

4. Length is measured using the tools:
ruler
meter stick
tape measure

5. Length is measured in the basic unit: meter

6. Volume

7. Volume is the amount of space taken up, or occupied, by an object.

8. The volume of a liquid can be measured easily by reading the meniscus.

9. The meniscus is the curve at a liquids surface.

10. Liquid volume is measured using the tools: beakers, Erlenmeyer flasks, graduated cylinders, and pipettes

11. Liquid volume is measured in the basic unit: liter(L)

12. The volume of a solid can be calculated by measuring the length, width and height of a solid object.

13. The equation to calculate the solid volume is length X width X height
V=LxWxH

14. Solid volume can be measured using the tools: a ruler, a meter stick, or a tape measure

15. Solid volume is measured in the units cubic centimeters (cm3)

16. To convert liquid to solid volume 1mL=1cm3

17. Mass

18. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object

19. Mass is always constant for an object, no matter where it is located in the universe.

20. Mass can be measured using the tool: balance.

21. Mass is measured in the units: grams(g)

22. Weight

23. Weight is a measure of the gravitational force on an object.

24. Weight varies depending on where the object is in relation to the Earth.

25. Weight can be measured using the tool: spring scale

26. Weight is measured using
the units: Newtons (N)

27. Temperature

28. Temperature is a measurement of heat in a substance.

29. Temperature can be measured using the tool: thermometer

30. Temperature is measured using the units Celcius (C)
