What UNITS do you use to measure?
The International System
• Abbreviated “SI” from
the French phrase: Le
Système international
d'unités
• It is the world's most
widely used system of
measurement.
• AKA the Metric System!
Metric System
Length
Mass
Volume
Meters (m)
Grams (g)
Liters (L)
Prefix vs. Suffix
• The suffix is the root word
• It always comes after the prefix.
• Example: multivitamin – “multi” is the
prefix and “vitamin” is the suffix
• Prefixes by themselves don’t mean
anything.
• Example, the prefix “Un” means nothing
• Added to unhappy means not happy.
These are the Suffixes….

themselves, they have to

Why do we have specific prefixes for
each type of measurement… Length

Km
A small one
mm
Same scenario works for volume and mass
• Volume – what units
(prefix + suffix) would
you use to measure the
volume of this?_______
• Mass - what units
(prefix + suffix) would
you use to measure the
mass of this?_________

• You have been hired on by the esteemed company
MAMMA.
• Your job is to accurately measure and weigh anything
and everything in front of you!
• If you are able to complete the following tasks you
will be promoted to chemist (which is a necessity to
continue further in Miss Miks’ class!!)
Three parts:
1. Length
2. Mass
3. Volume
Good luck and happy measuring!
Lesson 2:
Mass
English vs. Metric Units
Which is larger?
1. 1 Pound or 100 Grams
1 pound = 453.6 grams
2. 1 Kilogram or 1 Pound
3. 1 Ounce or 1000 Milligrams
1 ounce of gold =
28,349.5 milligrams
100 kilogram =
220 pounds
Metric Units
Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object.
The base unit of mass in the metric system in the
kilogram and is represented by kg.
Metric Units
1 Kilogram (km) = 1000 Grams (g)
1 Gram (g) = 1000 Milligrams (mg)
Which is larger?
A. 1 kilogram or 1500 grams
C. 12 milligrams or 12 kilograms
B. 1200 milligrams or 1 gram
D. 4 kilograms or 4500 grams
Kilogram Prototype Image - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram
Measuring Mass
We will be using triple-beam balances
to find the mass of various objects.
The objects are placed on the scale and
then you move the weights on the beams
until you get the lines on the right-side of
the scale to match up.
Once you have balanced the scale, you add up
the amounts on each beam to find the total mass.
What would be the mass of the object measured
in the picture?
70g
300g + _______
373.35 g
3.35g = ________
_______
+ ______
Lesson 3:
Volume
English vs. Metric Units
Which is larger?
1 fl oz = 29.573 ml
A. 1 liter or 1 gallon
1 12-oz can of soda
would equal
approximately 355 ml.
B. 1 liter or 1 quart
C. 1 milliliter or 1 fluid ounce
1 quart = 0.946 liters
1 gallon = 3.79 liters
It would take approximately 3 ¾
1-liter bottles to equal a gallon.
Metric Units
Volume is the amount of space an object takes
up.
The base unit of volume in the metric system in
the liter and is represented by L or l.
Metric Units
1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL)
1 milliliter (mL) = 1 cm3 (or cc) = 1 gram*
Which is larger?
A. 1 liter or 1500 milliliters
B. 200 milliliters or 1.2 liters
C. 12 cm3 or 1.2 milliliters*
Measuring Volume
We will be using graduated cylinders to
find the volume of liquids and other objects.
Read the measurement based on the bottom of the
meniscus or curve. When using a real cylinder, make
sure you are eye-level with the level of the water.
43
What is the volume of water in the cylinder? _____mL
What causes the meniscus?
A concave meniscus occurs when the molecules of the liquid
attract those of the container. The glass attracts the water on
the sides.
Measuring Liquid Volume
What is the volume of water in each cylinder?
37mL
52mL
23mL
Pay attention to the scales for each cylinder.
Measuring Solid Volume

We can measure the volume of
irregular object using water displacement.
260cm3
Amount of H2O with object = ______
About of H2O without object = 200cm3
______
60cm3
Difference = Volume = ______
