  1. Application of measurements in daily life Anusree

  2. Actually , what is measurement?

  3. Values made meaningful by quantifying into specific units. Measurements act as labels which make those values more useful in terms of details. For example, instead of saying that someone is tall, we can specify a measurement and specify that the individual is 6 feet tall.

  4. An intro to measuring tools

  5. Let's bake a pie.We need a cup of sugar in the pie.  Which tool will we use to measure a cup of sugar?

  6. Our pie is an apple pie.  We will need three pounds of apples in our pie. 

  7. Different tools are used for measuring different things.

  8. 1 liter/l 2 milliliter/ml 3 kiloliter/kl These tools are used to measure capacity.

  9. These tools are used to measure weight or mass.

  10. These tools are used to measure time.

  11. These tools are used to measure lengths. This standard ruler shows inches.  12 inches is a foot.  36 inches is a yard. This metric ruler shows centimeters.  A meter stick shows 100 centimeters.

  12. Application of measurements in our family life

  13. Cooking properly- Cooking of all forms is based on proper attention to measurement. Can you bake a chicken at 600 degrees? Well, you can but the results would be pretty catastrophic! Could you make a cup of tea by dipping a tea bag into a teaspoon of warm water?

  14. Proper use of capacity- Just how many clothes can you fit in a dresser or closet without it becoming too crammed? Without a clear concept of capacity you might find yourself pouring an entire half gallon of orange juice into a small glass!

  15. Application of measurements in our work life

  16. Making estimations- If you have to be at office at 9am what time would you have to leave in the morning if you are at your friend's house. Often we do not have an exact answer so we need to make an estimation which is essentially a guess of measurement.

  17. Application of measurements in our Health and Wellness

  18. Taking proper medicine-If you an illness (whether serious or minor) you need to take your medicine and take it in the proper amount. If you take too little or too much then you are not going to get the proper benefit from it.

  19. Keeping yourself warm or cool-If the temperature outside dips or increases you have to make an adjustment on your thermostat in order to remain at a safe and healthy temperature. Understanding the measurement scale of a thermostat is critical in this regard or else you may find yourself feeling rather uncomfortable.

  20. Understanding weight- We need to understand weight to decide should you gain weight(if you are having less weight than normal) or should you lose weight.(if you are overweight)

  21. Application of measurements in our Financial life

  22. Construction- When you construct homes we need to measure the space and we need to calculate the space needed for the home, etc. And, this comes under measurements.

  23. Purchasing clothes- Now, how important could measurements be when selecting clothes? After all, to look good in clothing the main thing you need to pay attention to is style, right? Well, if you weigh 200lbs you aren't going to look stylish in an extra small shirt. Clothing is all based on size and proper fitting which are, of course, variants of measurement.

  24. Application of measurements in our Leisure life

  25. Playing sports. The importance of measurements may not necessarily reveal itself when you play sports but it is there in a big way. In football, it is necessary to have a distance of 7 yards between two goal posts.

  26. Hope you are satisfied with my research on the topic Applications of measurements in different aspects of life….
