  2. Metric System • Metric System: a standard system of measurement used by scientist worldwide • Called System International (SI) • Based on units 10s

  3. Mass Measures the amount of matter in an object Units: Grams (g) Instrument used: Balance Length Measures distance Units: Meters (m) Instrument used: Ruler, meter stick Volume Measures the amount of space an object takes up Units: Liter (L) – for liquids; Cubic Centimeter (cm3) – for irregular objects Instrument used: Graduated cylinder or Beaker Base Units
