Metric System (for Metric System (for liquid liquid volume)volume)

• Use a graduated cylinder• Measured in ________

______ milliliters is 1 liter

1 milliliter of liquid is about the amount that would fill a pen cap.

1 liter of water is the size of a supersized soda.

Using a graduated cylinderUsing a graduated cylinder

• Must be on a flat surface• Raise or lower your head

so that your eyes are at the level of the liquid

• Read from the _____ of the meniscus

• The meniscus is ______ ____________________

Measuring the volume of an Measuring the volume of an irregular solidirregular solid

** 1 ml of liquid is equivalent to 1 cm3 of solid

1 ml = ___ cm3

10 ml

18 ml

Place the irregular object into the already partially filled graduated cylinder and _______________

________________________________________ (What’s the change in the measured volume from before the object is in the water vs. afterwards)

Metric System (for Metric System (for massmass))• Measured with a _________________________________• Uses _______ (__) as the units

Mass is the ______________________________________. It

does not change with the object’s __________.

Mass is different than weight.

Weight is a measure of ______________________________

1) Read the middle (hundreds)bar first.

2) Read the top or the rear bar (tens) second.

3) Read the bottom or closest bar (ones) last. Read this one with its decimal (3.5).

4) Add all the numbers togetherto get the final mass in grams.

ie. 300 + 50 + 3.6 = 353.6 g

Metric System (for Metric System (for temperature)temperature)

• 2 options

• Celsius (°C) -_______ is absolute zero __________ the freezing point of water

__________ is the boiling point of waterComfortable room temperature is around 37 °C

• Kelvin (°K)_____ °K is absolute zero

273 °K = 0 °C freezing point of water 373 °K = 100 °C boiling point of water

Absolute Zero is the temperature at which all movement including atomic movement stops.

Microscope continuedMicroscope continued

• Ocular lens magnifies 10x

• To get the magnification multiply the magnification ____________ with the magnification of the ______________.

• 10 x 4 = 40 mag.

• 10 x 10 = 100 mag.

• 10 x 40 = 400 mag.

Microscope UseMicroscope Use1) Carry with both hands2) Start on the lowest power (4x) 3) Focus with the coarse adjustment4) Keep both eyes open when viewing5) Use the fine focus to fine tune the image6) Center the image7) Switch to medium power8) Focus with the fine focus9) Goto high power10) NEVER use coarse focus on high power. You will break the

slide and scratch the lens11) When done return the objective lens to its lowest setting and

turn off the light source
