1.Fill in the following chart with the missing information. If the box has a STAR in it, it’s missing information. If the box does NOT have a star, it is NOT missing anything.

Measurement / What it measures / Basic Metric Unit / Tool
  • The amount of heat in an object.
/ /
  • Thermometer

Density /
  • The amount of molecules in a certain space.
/ Steps:
1)
2)
3)Find density by using what equation? (**Please write out the equation in the THREE ways it was presented in your notes.)
Volume /
  • Liter (L)
OR
  • Cubic centimeter (cm3)
/ Ruler / Graduated Cylinder
  • What equation would you use?
/ OR
  • To measure liquids

  • The amount of matter in an object.
/
  • Gram (g)

Length /
  • Distance
/
  • Ruler or Meter stick

2.Each ruler below has an arrow labeled on it. For each arrow, write down the correct measurement that the arrow is pointing to. REMEMBER THE UNIT!!!!!!

3.Use a ruler or a meter stick to measure the length of each of the lines below. Measure each line to the nearest tenth of a cm (1/10 cm OR .1 cm). Remember to write the unit behind each measurement.

4.Fill in the chart below by identifying what method you would use to find the volume of the following items:

Item / What method would you use?
(L x W x H OR The displacement method)
A rock
Tissue box
Golf ball

5.How would you find the volume of a marble? ______

a.Write out the steps you would take to find the volume of the

marble. DRAW YOUR EXAMPLE USING THE GRADUATED

CYLINDERS TO THE RIGHT.

6.Examine each picture of a partial graduated cylinder and determine the volume in mL.

7.When reading a graduated cylinder, you always read the curved line. What is this curved line called?

8.What is the density of water? ______g/mL

9.How can you tell if something will sink or float in water without actually placing the object in water?

10.Jordan wanted to know the density of her small toy horse. What equation will Jordan need to use to figure out the density of the toy horse?

a.Jordan’s data is in the table to the right. Use the equation you listed in number eight to determine the density of Jordan’s toy. You may use a calculator but PLEASESHOW YOUR WORK BELOW!!!

b.Because you didn’t see Jordan drop the horse in water you don’t know if the horse sank in the water or if it was floating. Based on the density you calculated would this toy horse sink or float in water? Circle the correct choice below:

11. Let’s calculate density one more time. Use the data in the table below to calculate the density of a piece of Stride gum.

a.Use the equation you listed in number eight to determine the density of the gum. You may use a calculator but PLEASESHOW YOUR WORK BELOW!!!

b.Based on the density, would this piece of gum sink or float in water? Circle the correct choice below:

12. Below are images of a triple beam balance. Next to each image, record the TOTAL mass shown on the balance. REMEMBER TO INCLUDE THE UNIT!!!!
