Measurement+Study+Guide

The measurement test will consist of two parts to be completed on the same day.
 * Part 1 will be written. It will contain vocabulary, matching, conversions, and word problems involving calculations. You will be allowed to use a calculator.
 * Part 2 will be a lab practical requiring the measurement of length, area, mass, volume (both regular and irregular solids), and density (both regular and irregular solids AND liquids). You will be allowed to use a calculator.

Here's what you need to know: What are the names and uses of the basic tools used by scientists. What is the system used by scientists to measure and record data? Why is this system important? Why is it better than the English system? What are the SI unit prefixes we have studied in order from largest to smallest? What are the base units used in SI? Be able to give the appropriate units to use to measure different objects based on their size. How do you convert to a larger SI unit? To a smaller SI unit? What is length? What is the base unit of length? What do we use to measure length? What is area? How do you calculate area? What is mass? What is the base unit of mass? What do you use to measure mass? What are the parts of a triple beam balance? How do you zero a balance? What is the proper way to carry a triple beam balance? How is each beam of a triple beam balance graduated (what value does each beam measure)? What is volume? What is the base unit of volume? What do you use to measure the volume of a liquid? How do you read a graduated cylinder? What is a meniscus? How do you measure/calculate the volume of a regular solid? How do you measure the volume of an irregular solid? What is density? What is the equation for density? What are the units of density? What is the relationship between mass and density? If you know density and volume, how can you find mass? If you know density and mass, how can you find volume?

Quizlet has some good premade electronic Flashcards to practice vocabulary.
