Today, we started our next unit; measurement. This was a basic introduction to some of the measurement tools we will be using throughout the year. We identified the following tools along with the quantities they measure and the units we will be using with them;
Tool Quantity Unit
Meter Stick Distance Meters (m) or Centimeters (cm)
Graduated Cylinder Volume Milliliters (mL)
Balance Mass Grams (g)
Thermometer Temperature Degrees Celsius (C)
Stopwatch Time Seconds (s)
Make sure you have these written down accurately in your handouts; these are the terms I would expect to see on an assessment.
Tomorrow, we will begin using these tools to practice making measurements. We may even blow up a gummy bear...
