The document discusses measurement units and the International System of Units (SI or metric system). It explains that the SI system standardized units to ensure consistency, using meters, kilograms, and seconds as base units. Derived units are built from the base units, such as square meters for area and cubic meters for volume. Liquid volumes are commonly measured in liters, which are equivalent to cubic meters for liquids and gases.

Using the metric system
The document discusses measurement systems, comparing the English and metric systems. It notes that the metric system is based on multiples of ten, making conversions easier. The metric system is used worldwide, including in science and everyday life, and is called the International System of Units (SI). The document provides examples of how the metric system is used and explains how to perform conversions between metric units using prefixes like kilo and milli.
Section 3.7 Using The Metric System
This document provides information about using the metric system, including identifying appropriate metric units for mass, capacity, and length. It gives examples and reference amounts for different metric units. It also discusses converting between metric units by multiplying or dividing by powers of ten based on the relative sizes of the units.
The Metric System
The document discusses the metric system and provides conversions between metric and US units of length, volume, and mass. It explains that the metric system is based on factors of ten for conversions between units like millimeters to centimeters or grams to kilograms. Examples are given for converting between meters and kilometers, millimeters and centimeters, meters and feet, and gallons and liters.
Measurement
Accuracy refers to how close measurements are to the true value, while precision refers to the consistency of repeated measurements of the same quantity. Length is measured in meters, centimeters, and millimeters using a ruler. Mass is measured in grams and kilograms using a balance scale. Volume is measured in liters and milliliters using a graduated cylinder, reading at the bottom of the meniscus curve formed by liquid attraction to the container glass.
The english system of measurement
The English system of measurement developed organically as people measured things using familiar objects from everyday life. Measurements varied between individuals until standards were established. The key units are:
- Length: 12 inches = 1 foot, 3 feet = 1 yard, 5280 feet = 1 mile
- Capacity: 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon, 16 tablespoons = 1 cup, 2 cups = 1 pint, 2 pints = 1 quart, 4 quarts = 1 gallon
- Weight: 16 ounces = 1 pound, 2000 pounds = 1 ton
Conversions between units use proportional relationships, like 1 yard = 3 feet or 16 cups = 1 gallon.

Forces
Forces have both magnitude and direction. Newton's first law states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an external force. Newton's second law relates the net force on an object to its acceleration using the formula F=ma. Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Gravity exists between all objects and increases with the mass of the objects and decreases with distance between them. Weight is the gravitational force on an object and depends on its mass and location. Tides are caused by the gravitational forces of the moon and the centrifugal force of the Earth's rotation creating bulges in the oceans.

INTRODUCTION:
Numbers and measurements impact every part of our lives, and are tools that scientists, engineers, astronauts, chefs and doctors use to analyze data, build bridges, fly orbiters into space, adjust recipes, and prescribe medication. Collecting and analyzing data allows us to understand patterns in the natural world that are not easily observed with the naked eye, and the natural variation that is inherent to all organisms is the major reason we need measurements. In today’s lab you will learn about basic measurements and common instruments used by scientists on a daily basis. Your ability to learn and use these concepts will be tested and reinforced throughout the semester.
____________________________________________________________________________
Task 1 - MEASUREMENTS IN SCIENCE: Familiarize yourself with the metric system.
Recall from last week that a key component of the scientific method is experimentation. This step is necessary for the collection of data that will either lend support to, or lead to the rejection of, the hypothesis being tested. In general, data can be qualitative or quantitative. Qualitative data describe variables based on quality (e.g. smell, appearance, texture, etc) and are usually gathered through interviews, pictures, field notes and/or surveys. Quantitative data define the quantity of a variable through measurements (e.g. length, area, cost, height, age, etc.). The main disadvantage of qualitative data is that they are often too subjective (what smells good to one individual might not smell equally well to another). Therefore, quantitative data, which can be statistically manipulated and analyzed, are the preferred choice of most scientists because they provide objective, less biased measures. However, we will examine both types of data in greater detail throughout the semester.
The metric system is used as the international standard to make measurements worldwide. It is based on units of ten (see Table 1 and 2). In contrast, the Imperial Units of Measurement is based on historical precedent, e.g., a foot was first measured as the length of a man’s foot. Because the metric system is widely employed throughout the scientific arena, it will be covered in this lab.

Based on measurements taken using a virtual density lab, the key findings were:
1) A material has a constant density that does not change, even if the mass or volume changes.
2) The density of a material can be used to identify it and is calculated as density (D) = mass (M) / volume (V).
3) Materials with a higher density than water will sink, while those with a lower density will float, explaining why wood floats but aluminum sinks.

Conversion of unit of Measurements for Length
1) Identify the unit you are starting with.
2) Identify the unit you want to end with.
3) Find the conversion factor/s that will convert the starting unit to ending unit. Using the fractional form the unit you want to end will be the numerator the unit to be cancelled will be the denominator.
4) Set up the Mathematical expression so that all units except the unit you want to end with, will not be cancelled.
Convert 36 inches to feet.
Solution:
Step 1: inches
Step 2 : feet
Step 3 : (1 𝑓𝑜𝑜𝑡)/(12 𝑖𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑠)
Step 4: 36 inches x (1 𝑓𝑜𝑜𝑡)/(12 𝑖𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑠) = 3 feet
Step 5: Therefore, 36 in = 3 feet

Measurement&Conversions
- 1. We need a reliable system of measurement to obtain useful data.
- 11. Are mass and weight the same? We will compare mass and weight later. However, we measure mass with the same equipment we use to measure weight– a scale or “beam balance”. VB-302-3000 Electronic Precision Balance Scale [Online]. Flex Weigh Direct 2006-07. http://www.flexweighdirect.com/vb3023000/ The mass of this object is 2000 grams.
- 15. We use volume measurements everyday. Example: The gas tank in my car contains 15 gallons of gasoline (when it is full). Example: A bread recipe calls for 2 cups of water and 3 tablespoons of oil. In science class, the unit we will use to measure the volumes of liquids is the liter (L) . Think of the amount of space occupied by a 1-liter or 2-liter bottle of soda.
- 16. The equipment we will use to measure liquid volume in class will be the beaker and the graduated cylinder . Beakers are generally used to measure larger volumes. They do not have many markings. 250 ml Bomex Glass Beaker [Online]. Research Laboratory Supply, Inc. 2008. Researchsupply.net Graduated Cylinder, Glass, 50 ml [Online]. Science Stuff, Inc. 2008. Sciencestuff.com. Graduated cylinders get their name from many small markings (similar to a ruler) that are used to take a wide variety of large and small measurements.
- 18. 25 m 2 m 50 m Volume = 2 m x 25 m x 50 m Volume = 2500 m 3 This volume is equivalent to 2500 cubes of 1 m 3 (1 m x 1 m x 1 m)
