Science Lab about Metric Measurement

HYPOTHESIS: If I use the Metric Measurement and become more familiar with it, then I will be able to convert other measurements and learn to use it and understand it better since other countries used the Metric Measurement.

MATERIALS:

Small ruler, key, paper clip, thumb, meter stick, balance scale, wooden block, stone, Millimeter ruler, 50ml graduated cylinder, test tube, water, and eyedropper.

PROCEDURE:

A. Measuring Length

1. Measure objects in cm and convert that measurement into mm and m.

2. Turn the meter stick over, and observe the metric subdivisions.

3. Use meter stick to measure various items and convert them into cm, mm, and m.

Weight – Three commonly used metric units for weight are the kg, g, and mg.

B. Measuring Mass

1. Use a balance scale to measure the weight of a small wooden block.

2. Measure the weight of a small stone to fit inside the opening of a 50ml graduated cylinder.

C. Measuring Volume

1. Use millimeter ruler to measure the wooden block used in part B of this procedure to get length, width, and depth.

2. Use a 50 ml graduated cylinder to ...
