FTF RULES

• You always have to TRY but its okay if you dont
  get it right.
• Write the DATE.
• Write a brief description of what the activity
  is. (you do not need to copy the directions word

  one!)
• You can have more than one FTF per page. Just be
  sure to date them!
• I sometimes collect them to count as a homework
  or class work grade.

SYSTEMS OF MEASUREMENT(HINT USUALLY THE HEADING
UP HERE MAKES A GOOD MAIN IDEA FOR YOUR NOTES)

• There are multiple units of measurement
• In the U.S. we use the English System or
  Customary System
• Most of the world uses the Metric System

METRIC SYSTEM (HINT USUALLY THE HEADING UP HERE
MAKES A GOOD MAIN IDEA FOR YOUR NOTES

• The metric system is a system of measurement that
  is used by scientists all over the world.
• In the science world it is also called it System
  International or SI.
• Can you think of the metric units used to measure
• Liquid
• Mass
• Length
• Temperature
• Time
• Write them on the white board!

15
METRIC BASE UNITS

• Liquid Liters
• Mass Gram
• Length Meters
• Temperature Celsius
• Time Seconds

16
LENGTH

• The distance between two points.
• Base unit is the meter (abbreviated with a
  lowercase m)

17
MASS

• The measure of the amount of matter an object
  contains
• Matter The material that all objects and
  substances are made up of
• Anything that has mass and takes up space is
  matter
• Base unit of mass is the gram (abbreviate with a
  lowercase g)

18
VOLUME

• The amount of space an object takes up.
• Measure in L (liters) for liquid.
• Measured in cm3 for solids

19
DENSITY

• The measure of mass per given volume.
• d m / v

20
MASS VOLUME DENSITY OF BOTTLES
21
TODAYS AGENDA 9/8

• FTF
• 1. In your notebook list the base unit for mass,
  volume, length. Include the abbreviation.
• 2. What hint can you use to remember the
  formula for density?

Measurement Conversion War Game
Announcements Conversion Quiz Thursday!

• Homework
• Metric Mania Conversion Practice

SWBAT correctly convert between metric
measurements by converting to 3 larger units and
3 smaller units.
22
METRIC PREFIXES

• Prefixes are added to metric units to indicate
  smaller or larger units of measurement.
• Units larger than the base unit are kilo, deca
  and hecto
• Units smaller than the base unit are deci, centi
  and milli.
• Prefixes also have abbreviations.

CONVERTING USING MULTIPLICATION OR DIVISION

• Metric prefixes are based on 10.
• Each prefix is 10 times greater or 10 times less
  than the prefix on either side.
• To convert using multiplication or division
• Determine starting prefix.
• Figure out how many times greater or smaller the
  prefix is that you are converting to.
• Multiple or divide depending on if you are
  converting to a larger prefix or smaller prefix.

35
REMEMBER!DO A REALITY CHECK AFTER A CONVERSION

• If you are converting from a large unit to a
  smaller unit your answer should be a larger
  number than the original measurement.
• Example kilometer to meter
• .05 km 50m
• 10 km 10 000m
• If you are converting from a small unit to a
  large unit, your answer should be a smaller
  number than the original measurement.
• Example mL to L
• 5 000mL 5 L
• .15 L 150 kL

36
LETS PRACTICE

• How many milliliters are in 1 liter?
• Ask home many times bigger/smaller is a
  milliliter compared to a liter.
• Decide will I multiply or divide my starting
  number?
• Do the math.
• Convert 360 cm to dkm
• Convert .06km to m
