Measurements in Science
When doing a science experiment: Experimental measurements must not only be RELIABLE and ACCURATE but also must be easily understood by others Reliable Accurate ReliableAccurate Reliable Accurate
a decimal system of international measurement based on 10 metric system: SI Units of SI used in this class: kilo= 1000 deci= 1/10 or .1 centi= 1/100 or .01 milli= 1/1000 or .001
When Measuring…Use… (Base Unit) length meters (m) volume l x w x h (m3) liter (L) mass grams (g) temperature Celsius (°C) *Mass is a measure of amount of matter in an object. *Weight is measure of gravitational force

Density is the mass of an object per unit volume (D=m/v). The unit for density is a combination of more than one fundamental unit which is called a derived unit
