3. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
Length is one property of
matter that can be measured.
Length is the distance
from one end of an object to
.the other end
5. You can use these lengths to compare objects.
For example, you can measure and
compare the length of
a pillbug and a beetle to determine
.which one is longer
6. The basic metric unit of length is
the meter (m). Shorter lengths are
measured in centimeters (cm) or
millimeters (mm).
There are 100cm in a meter.
There are 1000mm in a meter.
Longer distances are measured in
kilometers (km).
There . are 1000m in a kilometer
8. Another way to measure and
compare matter is by volume.
The volume is the amount of
.space the object takes up
9. Graduated cylinder is used to
measure the volume of a liquid.
Liter (L) is the basic metric unit for
measuring liquid volume.
Milliliters (mL) are smaller parts of
a liter marked by graduated
cylinders.
There are 1000 . milliliters in a liter
18. You can different scales to measure temperature.
The Celsius scale is often used in
science.
Degrees Celsius is written as C .
The fahrenheit scale is often
used in everyday life in the
.united states
19. The outside temperature is
reported in degrees Fahrenheit.
Degrees Fahrenheit is written as
F.
.Sometimes both scales are used
