  1. SC.A.1.2.1 Making Measurements The student determines that the properties of materials (e.g., density and volume) can be compared and measured (e.g. using rules, balances, and thermometers).

  2. Temperature thermometer A ______________ is the instrument used to measure temperature. • There are two units of measure for temperature: • Celsius • Fahrenheit • Degrees Celsius (°C) is the metric unit for temperature.

  3. Length A ___________ is the instrument used to measure length. meter stick • The metric unit for length is: • Meter

  4. Mass A _________ is the instrument used to measure mass. balance • The metric unit for mass is: • Grams

  5. Volume A __________________ is the instrument used to measure volume. graduated cylinder • The metric unit for volume is: • Liter

  6. Instruments of Measurement What instrument can be used to measure the height of a bouncing ball? Thermometer Balance Metric Ruler Graduated Cylinder What instrument can be used to measure the mass of a rock? Thermometer Balance Metric Ruler Graduated Cylinder What instrument can be used to measure the volume of a liquid? Thermometer Balance Metric Ruler Graduated Cylinder What instrument can be used to measure the temperature of a room? Thermometer Balance Metric Ruler Graduated Cylinder

  7. Weight and Mass How is weight and mass different? Mass is defined as the amount of matter an object has. The weight of an object depends on gravity. The mass and weight of a frog on Earth and on the Moon A frog will have a mass of 2721 grams on Earth and on the Moon. A frog will weigh 8 pounds on Earth, but 1.32 pounds on the Moon.

  8. Density Density is how heavy something is for its size. Density is found by dividing mass by volume. Density = Mass Volume What instruments are needed to find the density of a rock?
