Measurement Project:
Part A:
Use this Measurement Introduction google slides (click here) to fill in the blanks pictured below in your performance task. Put "n/a" for Question #6 in your performance task as I accidentally skipped number six when numbering the document.

Part B:
Step 1: Determine the mass of the items weighted on the triple and four beam balances pictured below in your performance task.

Step 2: Find the length of each pencil pictured below in both centimeters and millimeters. Complete the table in your performance task.
Step 3: Volume is a measurement of how much space a liquid, solid, or gas takes up. The volume of liquids are generally measured using a graduated cylinder. When liquids are placed in a graduated cylinder, the solution at the top will form a "U" shape. You always want to measure the liquid at the bottom of the U, not the sides. Here's an example (click here). Find the measurement of each solution in the graduated cylinders below in your performance task. The first cylinder with an "x" is question #1.
Step 4: The volume of solid objects are generally measured differently. The volume of cubed objects such as a box can be measured by determining the length, width, and depth then multiplying all three numbers. If unit used to measure the box was centimeters then the units of volume of the box would be in centimeters cubed (click here). Using this information, fill in the table in your performance task using the image pictured below.
Step 5: The volume of irregular objects cannot be calculated the same way as a cube. Most scientist instead use the water displacement method to obtain the volume of these irregular objects, if they're small enough! What you do is fill a graduated cylinder with water and measure the volume of the liquid. Then you place the irregular object in the cylinder that you want to measure. The irregular object will raise the level of the water. Afterward, you measure the new volume (aka final volume) of the water with the irregular object inside. To determine the volume of the object, you subtract the initial volume (without object) by the final volume (with object). The units of volume of the irregular object will be the same as the units on the graduated cylinder. In this picture (click here) water displacement is used to measure the volume of a screw, which is found to be 20 mls. With this information, fill in the table in your performance task based on the picture below.
Step 6: Find the temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius for the thermometers pictured below in your performance task.
Part C:
Density as you learned in Part A is the mass per volume of a solid, liquid, or gas. Practice calculating the mass, volume, and/or density in this activity (click here).
Part D:
In this activity you will be using the metric ladder technique to convert metric units. The metric conversion chart is pictured for your convenience below. Watch this quick video (click here) that explains how to use perform the metric conversion technique. After you finish watching the video answer the questions in this document (click here) in your performance task.
