Study Notes
Metric System
- The metric system is based on the number 10.
Basic Units of Measurement
- The basic unit of length in the metric system is the meter (m).
- The basic unit of mass in the metric system is the gram (g).
- The basic unit of liquid volume in the metric system is the liter (L).
Mass and Volume Conversions
- 1 gram (g) represents a mass of 0.001 kilograms (kg).
- 1 liter (L) is equal to 1000 milliliters (mL).
Reading Graduated Cylinders
- A meniscus is the curved surface of a liquid in a container.
- To properly read the level of a liquid in a graduated cylinder, place the cylinder on a level surface and read the level at eye level, using the bottom of the meniscus.
Unit Comparisons
- A centimeter (cm) is larger than a millimeter (mm).
Calculating Area
- When multiplying two of the same units together to calculate area, square units (e.g. m², cm²) should be used.
Water Displacement Method
- The water displacement method is used to measure the volume of an object.
Claim and Reasoning Definitions
- A definition of Claim is not a statement that can be proven or disproven.
- Reasoning is the process of drawing a conclusion based on evidence.
