5. SCIENTIFIC METHOD CONTINUED Units of Measurement Part 1 Learning Targets: Students will be able to identify units of measurements used in the scientific community.

6. Test Your Memory Pay close attention to the video about PIGGY He is going to show you 7 conversions of English to Metric measurements. Which pair can remember the most? Don’t worry, I will show it twice. No cheating: You can not write down answers as the video is shown (remove all paper from your desk until I give the all clear). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr_zrP5RSQc

7. Scientific Measurement Scientists around the world use a system of measurements called the International System of Units, or SI, to make observations. The units used for scientific measurements are those of the metric system. Because SI uses certain metric units that are based on units of ten, multiplication and division are easy to do. In America, we typically use the English system.

10. Length and Mass The SI base unit of length is the meter (m), a distance only slightly longer than a yard. Mass is a measure of the amount of material in an object.  The SI base unit of mass is the gram (g).  (which is equal to about 2.2 pounds (lb)).

11. Volume Volume is usually the measurement used to see how much liquid is in a container. There are several ways to measure volume, but the most common way is in liters (L).

12. Volume The devices used most frequently in chemistry to measure volume are illustrated in Figure 1.20.

13. Density Density is the amount of mass in a unit volume of the substance: Mass/Volume = Density The densities of solids and liquids are commonly expressed in units of grams per milliliter (g/ml).
