MEASUREMENT
METRICENGLISH
How Alike?* Both measuring Systems* Measure Accurately
* Use Tools and Units to measure * Used in many Jobs
* Can measure from very small to very large things
(Length, width, height, mass, volume, density, temperature)
How Different?* Fractions and Decimals
* Used only in USA* Only Decimals
* Used Worldwide (not in USA)
* Tool types used* Unit types used
Distance
The space between 2 points or places
Distance
LengthWidthHeight
LxW= Area
LxWxH= Solid Volume
Main Unit = Meters
Tools:- Metric Ruler
- Tape Measure- Meter Stick

The MOST you ever have to move the decimal in metrics is _____ places.SIX

Larger to Smaller - move decimal to the RIGHT
Smaller to Larger - move decimal to the LEFTEx. 1500. mm = _____ m
1 5 0 0. = 1 500 = 1.5 m
Ex. 1.5 m = _____ mm
1 . 5 00 .
. .
= 1500 = 1500 mm.
Follow the ‘bouncing’ decimal !!
VolumeThe amount of space an object takes up
PPT
Solid Volume
Tools:- Metric Ruler
- Tape Measure- Meter Stick
Main Unit = Meters LengthWidthHeight
LxWxH= Solid Volume
Liquid Volume
Meniscus
Main Unit = Liters
Tools:- Pipet
- Beaker- Graduated Cylinder
Read at bottom of meniscus at eye level
“Write This” “Draw This” “Don’t Draw This”
Meniscus - U-shaped depression that a liquid makes when in a cylinder.
Displacement - How much change there is to the water level after you put an object into a cylinder with a set amount of water.
Water Tension - The ‘stretchy skin’ effect that water has. (ex. Belly Flop)
Adhesion - Water molecules sticking to a different object.
Cohesion - Water molecules sticking to other water molecules.
Increment - Calculating the graduation distance on a graduated cylinder.
Graduations - The lines on a graduated cylinder.
