A. Standard- exact quantity that people agree to use for comparison B. Measurements must have a number and a unit .
1. SI – (International system of standards) an improved version of the metric system used and understood by scientists worldwide. 2. SI system is based on multiples of 10 and uses prefixes to indicate a specific multiple.
Lengthis measured using a unit appropriate for the distance between two points. SI unit – meter (m) • Volumethe amount of space an object occupies. SI unit – liter (L)
Mass - measured of matter in an object. SI unit = kilogram (kg) What’s the difference between mass and weight? Mass = measure of matter (amount of “stuff” you are made up of)… your mass stays the same whether you are on Earth or the moon or Neptune Weight = mass + gravity pulling on that object …so you would weigh less on the moon since there is less gravity http://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/weight/ Mass =Triple beam balance Weight Scale
What do you have to do with Italian salad dressing before using it? 1. Density - mass per unit volume of a material. 2. A unit obtained by combining different SI units is called a derived unit. Example: g/cm3 less dense
Time is the interval between two events; The SI unit for time is seconds (s) G. Temperature is measured using a thermometer. The SI unit of temperature is Kelvin (k)
