  1. MEASURING OBJECTS

  2. MEASUREMENT

  3. MEASURING LENGTH • Distance between two points • Use a ruler or meter stick • Units are in meters (m), centimeters (cm), or millimeters (mm)

  4. MEASURING MASS • The amount of matter in an object • Use a/an (electronic) balance • Units are in grams (g)

  5. MEASURING VOLUME • The amount of space an object takes up • Graduated cylinder • Units are in cubic centimeters (cm3) or milliliters (ml) calculate – for regular shaped objects water displacement method – for irregular objects

  6. MEASURING TEMPERATURE • Measure of hotness or coldness of an object • Use a thermometer • Units are in degrees Celsius  0 °C = freezing point of water  100 °C = boiling point of water
