Measurement is used in everyday life to quantify properties like distance, weight, volume, and temperature. Common units of measurement include meters, grams, and liters. We measure things to know properties like how far away a destination is, our weight, or if we have a fever. Measurement is essential for tasks like building structures, cooking, and medical examinations. Nearly everything in the world can be measured using tools like rulers, clocks, scales, measuring tapes, and thermometers.
