•Incremental amounts used to measure something
•In science, you must ALWAYS LABEL your numbers with the UNITS you are using.
Property, Unit and Symbol

In order to communicate effectively scientists around the world need to speak the same math language. The acceptable measurement system in chemistry is the International System of Measurements. This system is known as SI, short for the French term “System International d ’unites”. This system is the metric system and works in multiples of 10.
Prefixes added to the base unit (gram, meter or liter) change the size of the base measurement.
Zero Kelvin is called “absolute zero”. This is the temperature at which particles would actually stop moving. A type of matter known as Bose Einstein Condensates or BECs, have been cooled to this state.
Celsius is the metric temperature unit we will be using in chemistry. To convert Celsius to Kelvin you just ADD 273 to whatever Celsius temperature you measure.
Quantitative Science is concerned with measurements which analyze quantities of matter.
There is no such thing as a “perfect” measurement as there is always some uncertainty in measurement.
Limitations always exist due to the tools or the carelessness of the people making the measurement.
Interactive Reader – Pg. 24 – Accuracy vs. Precision
Estimation Digit – In this class we will be rounding to the nearest 100th (2 places to the right of the decimal)

Analysis of Data
Mathematical models: use equations and data to explain or predict things. Graphs: interpret what the data means; makes the relationship of numbers easier to see
Variable = in science, something that may be changed during an experimentIndependent variable = the thing in an experiment that is changed by the scientist. (Time, Amount of Water, Type of Popcorn)Dependent variable = the thing in an experiment that changes because of what the scientist changed . (Distance, Growth of a plant, Number of Popped Cornels )
Y AxisDependent Variable
X AxisIndependent Variable
Y AxisDependent Variable
X AxisIndependent Variable
A Direct Relationship between variables indicates that both the variables are either increasing or decreasing in the same direction. e.g. If the X variable is getting bigger so is the Y variable.
Y AxisDependent Variable
X AxisIndependent Variable
An Indirect Relationship (inverse) between variables indicates that one variable is changing in the opposite direction than the other. e.g. If the X variable is getting bigger the Y variable is getting smaller…volume vs. pressure
Using your notes on the first two pages, complete a Reflect &Review.
R Reflect and Review –
+ = Already know = May need to review
= Still need to learn
