Unit 2-1
(The things we use to make
observations in a science class.)
Tools of Measurement
Measurement
• A measurement is an observation that we
make using a tool (meter stick, graduated
cylinder, triple beam balance, etc.).
• When we calculate something like volume,
we first take measurements then
manipulate the numbers using a formula.
• We can MEASURE the volume of a liquid
but we CALCULATE the volume of a box!
Measurement
****Always remember – if you are going
to do a calculation using your
measurements, you must always use the
SAME UNITS for each measurement –
you cannot multiply cm and mm – you
must first convert one to the other!
****
Measurement: Metric Ruler
• Used to measure length (meters)
Metric Units
= GOOD!
English = BAD
How do you measure with a metric
ruler?
• Always start with the black line, not the edge
of the ruler.
• Use the side of the ruler with cm or mm.
Using a Ruler
• Count the whole numbers and then the
remaining black lines.
• Each individual black line represents 1 mm.
There are 10 black lines between each cm.
Using a Ruler
• Hold the zero - all answers must have a value
in the tenth decimal point position (4.0 mm, 25.1
cm).
• Do not use fractions to record answers.
Another example…
How about this?
1.6 10.6
End – start = actual length
10.6 – 1.6 = 9.0 cm
Mass versus Weight
• Mass and weight are NOT the same thing.
• Mass – the amount of matter in an object
What is weight?
• Weight – is the measure of the pull of
gravity on an object.
Example:
•The moon is 1/6 of the
Earth’s gravity.
•Weight will be 1/6 of
what it is here on Earth
(divide by 6).
•However, their size will
not change!
•A person will not
physically shrink to 1/6
their size if they go to
the moon!
Measuring Mass:
Triple Beam Balance
How do we use
it…..?
Let's See!
Measures mass in grams!
