11. Measurements
Measurement provides QUANTITATIVE
information to QUALITATIVE observations.
Example:
“You are tall” = Qualitative
“You are 5 ft and 6 inches tall” = Quantitative
Measurements always have 2 parts
1) a Number/# 2) a Unit

 Length
 Temperature
 Mass

19. Graduated Cylinder and Beakers
Graduated cylinders and beakers are used to
measure the Volume of liquids. Example Units
of Volume are Liters (L), Milliliters (mL) and
cubic centimeters (cm3)

20. Meter Stick or Ruler
A meter stick or ruler is used to measure Length.
Example Units of Length are Meters (m),
Centimeters (cm), and Feet (ft)

21. Thermometer
A thermometer is used to measure the
Temperature of substances. Example Units
of Temperature are Celsius (oC),
o
Farenheight ( F) and Kelvin (K)

22. Electronic Balance
An electronic balance is used to measure Mass.
Example Units for Mass are grams (g), kilograms
(kg) and ounces (oz)
