  1. Measurement

  2. Metric System Prefixes and Base Units • Base Units: • Meter- length • Gram – mass • Liter – volume • Prefixes: • Kilo, Hecto, Deka, Base Unit, Deci, Centi, Milli

  3. Length Distance of an object Units: Meter

  4. MASS! (amount of matter in an object) Amount of stuff in stuff

  5. -_Weight_- How hard gravity Pulls on the mass

  6. There is a difference between…. • Mass = the amount of matter in and object. Units = Grams or Kilograms • Weight = how much gravity pulls on your mass. Units = Newtons

  8. VOLUME <3 The amount of space an object takes up. Units = cm3 or ml

  9. How to find volume? • Measure Length x width x height = cm3 or • Water displacement = ml

  10. DENSITY  How tightly packed an object is.

  11. Density = Mass divided by volume • D = M or V = Units g/ml or g/cm3 if you used water if you used l x w x h
