Your cell phone should be away during all times today unless you don't have your chromebook.

Learning Intentions

•  You understand the importance of using units when taking measurements.

•   You can identify the proper SI unit for each type of measurement in science.

•   You can identify and use the metric prefixes with the units when describing measurements.

•   You can accurately make measurements with precision appropriate for measuring tool and measurement being made.

Content Standards being covered:

Student can identify metric units for common measurements used in Chemistry and accurately makes conversions using metric system.
20. All units for science follow the SI system (International System of Units) The SI unit for energy is Joules (J), pressure is Pascal (Pa) or atmosphere (atm), temperature is degrees Celsius (○C) or Kelvin (K), mass is grams (g), volume is (mL), distance is meters (m)
21.The metric system is used in scientific data and includes the following prefixes- Kilo- (10^3), Hecto- (10^2), Deca- (10^1), base unit (1), deci- (10^-1), centi- (10^-2), milli- (10^-3) micro- (10^-6) and nano (10^-9)
22. The prefix symbols are Kilo- (k), Hecto- (h), Deca- (D), deci- (d), centi- (c), milli- (m), micro (µ), and nano (n)

Student can make and record measurements effectively using measuring tools and then apply that data appropriately in calculations.
25. a) Make measurement with appropriate scientific tool.
25. b) Record measurement with appropriate unit.
25. c) Measurement should be made with precision given for the measuring tool being used.
