Units of Measurement & Drawing Conclusions Flashcards
Length/Distance measured in
Meters (m)
Mass measured in
Grams
Volume measure in
Liters (L)
Converts one unit of measurement to another
Dimensional Analysis
Converting from Meters to Centimeters
Length in Centimeters=Length in meters x 100
Convert liters to milliliters
Volume in milliliters=Volume of liters x 1000
Measured with ruler, meter stick or tape measure
Length/Distance
Measure with graduated cylinder or volumetric pipette
Volume
Use balance to measure
Mass
Measured by amount of matter within object
Mass
Measured by the amount of space that is taken up by object
Volume
If mass of object is very large use
Kilograms instead of Grams
If mass of an object is very small use
Milligrams or Micrograms
If length of an object is very large use
Kilometers or Miles
If length of an object is very small use
Nanometers or Picometers
