BELLWORK 8/24/15
1. List 5 things from Friday’s circle map (example: distance from your house to school)
2. What units would you use to measure each of the above items?
How do YOU measure things?
What UNITS do you use to measure?
WE ARE GOING TO LEARN A NEW
MEASUREMENT LANGUAGE!
ENGLISH VS. METRIC!
The International System• Abbreviated “SI” from
the French phrase: Le Système international d'unités
• It is the world's most widely used system of measurement.
• AKA the Metric System!
Prefix vs. Suffix
• The suffix is the root word• It always comes after the prefix.• Example: multivitamin – “multi” is the
prefix and “vitamin” is the suffix• Prefixes by themselves don’t mean
anything.– Example, the prefix “Un” means nothing…..
Added to unhappy means not happy.
These are the Suffixes….

Metric Prefixes
• Kilo (k) – largest• Hecto (h)• Deca (da)• BASIC UNIT!!• Deci (d)• Centi (c)• Milli (m) – smallest
• They will never be by themselves, they have to be written with a suffix.

1.6 kilometers
1 mile
1 yard = 0.9444 meters
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
Metric Units
The basic unit of length in the metric system is the meter and is represented by a lowercase m.
Metric Units
1 Meter = 100 Centimeters (cm)
1 Meter = 1000 Millimeters (mm)

Making Accurate Metric Measurements Always(MAMMA)
• You have been hired on by the esteemed company MAMMA.
• Your job is to accurately measure and weigh anything and everything in front of you!
• If you are able to complete the following tasks you will be promoted to a biologist (which is a necessity to continue further in Mrs. Walker’s class!!)
Three parts:1. Length2. Mass3. Volume
Good luck and happy measuring!

English vs. Metric Units
Which is larger?
1. 1 Pound or 100 Grams
2. 1 Kilogram or 1 Pound
3. 1 Ounce or 1000 Milligrams
1 pound = 453.6 grams
1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds
1 ounce of gold = 28,349.5 milligrams
Metric Units
Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object.
The base unit of mass in the metric system is the gram and is represented by g.
Metric Units
1 Kilogram (kg) = 1000 Grams (g)
1 Gram (g) = 1000 Milligrams (mg)
BELLWORK 8/25/15
1. What is the length of the blue line in millimeters?
35 mm
2. What is the length of the blue line in meters?
0.035
3. What is the length of the blue line in centimeters?
3.5cm
4. What is the width of your desk in centimeters?
60cm
Materials:-Planner-IAN-Pencil/Pen
Measuring Mass
We will be using triple-beam balances to find the mass of various objects.
The objects are placed on the scale and then you move the weights on the beams until you get the lines on the right-side of the scale to match up.
Once you have balanced the scale, you add up the amounts on each beam to find the total mass.
What would be the mass of the object measured in the picture?
_______ + ______ + _______ = ________ g70g 300g 3.35g 373.35
Let’s put out knowledge to work in the lab!
BELLWORK 8/27/15Materials:-Planner-IAN-Pencil/Pen
1.What is the name of the scientific instrument you use to measure mass?
You use a Triple Bean Balance to take mass of an object.
2. What is the first thing you do when you are taking the mass of an object?Make sure the TBB is balanced before you take the mass of an object.
Lesson 3: Volume
Turn to a new page!!
English vs. Metric Units
Which is larger?
A. 1 liter or 1 gallon
B. 1 liter or 1 quart
C. 1 milliliter or 1 fluid ounce
1 gallon = 3.79 liters
It would take approximately 3 ¾ 1-liter bottles to equal a gallon.
1 fl oz = 29.573 ml
1 12-oz can of soda would equal
approximately 355 ml.
1 quart = 0.946 liters
Metric Units
Volume is the amount of space an object takes up.
The base unit of volume in the metric system is the liter and is represented by L.
Metric Units
1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL)
Measuring Volume
We will be using graduated cylinders to find the volume of liquids and other objects.
Read the measurement based on the bottom of the meniscus or curve. When using a real cylinder, make sure you are eye-level with the level of the water.
What is the volume of water in the cylinder? _____mL
What causes the meniscus?
A concave meniscus occurs when the molecules of the liquid attract those of the container. The glass attracts the water on the sides.
