MeasurementMeasurement makes quantitative
observations about objects, events, or systems. The goal is to help students
use tools of measurement and measurement systems and to achieve understandings
of scales and rates.

- Observe and measure change.
- Compare two or more objects using direct comparisons of measurement
(e.g., shorter, longer, taller, heavier, and lighter).
- Use both standard units of measurement (e.g., inches and centimeters
,)
and nonstandard units of measurement (e.g., string and paper clips).
- Use appropriate measurement systems for different purposes.

Measure a change using appropriate tools and
units of measurement. |
- Objects can be used to compare other objects.
- Quantitative estimates of familiar lengths, weights, and time intervals
can be confirmed by measurement.
- Measurement is a way of detecting change.
- Time is the measurement of years divided into seconds, minutes, hours,
days, weeks, months, decades, centuries.
- Linear measurement is the distance between two points.
- Volume is the measurement of space an object occupies.
- Area measures the surface of an object.
- A standard unit of measurement helps communication.
- Standard units include:
- time seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades,
centuries.
- volume ml, l, cup, pint, quart, gallon
- mass g, kg, pounds, ounces, tons
- linear cm, m, km, inch, foot, yard, mile
- temperature degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit
- Rate is based on time
- When the thermometer goes up the temperature is hotter.
- Measurement helps in making better observations.
- Rulers are used to measure linear measurement.
- Scales measure mass and weight.
- Measuring cups measure volume
- Measurements can be compared.
- Measurement is used in everyday life (recipes, plans, designing, building)

- All measurement is relative to a unit, usually a standard unit.
- Measurement helps in making more accurate observation
- Measurement is a way of detecting change.
- Measurement helps in making better observations.
- A standard unit of measurement helps communication.
- Quantitative estimates of familiar lengths, weights, and time intervals
can be confirmed by measurement.
- Linear measurement is the distance between two points. Common sandard
units of linear measurement include: cm, m, km, inch, foot, yard, mile.
- Rulers are used to measure linear measurement.
- Time is the measurement of years divided into seconds, minutes, hours,
days, weeks, months, decades, centuries.
- Common standard units of time include: seconds, minutes, hours, days,
weeks, months, years, decades, centuries.
- Volume is the measurement of space an object occupies. Common standard
units of volume include: ml, l, cup, pint, quart, gallon.
- Measuring cups measure volume
- Volume can be calculated from linear measurements.
- Volume can be calculated from area and linear measurements.
- Area measures the surface of an object. Common standard units of area
are square cm, m, km, ft. yds. miles
- Mass is the measure of how much matter is in a particular object or
particular space. Common standard units of mass include: g, kg, pounds,
ounces, tons.
- Scales measure mass and weight.
- When the thermometer goes up the temperature is hotter.
- Temperature is the measure of how hot or cold an object is. Common
standar units of temperature are degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit
- Rate is based on time

- Select and use appropriate measurement units.
- Apply English and metric systems of measurements.
|
- Measurements and computations can be checked by comparing them to
typical values.
- Often the best way to tell what is happening during a change is to
make a table or graph of measurements.
