Measuring in Science

How are horses measured?

International System of Units (SI) is based on several Metric Units or base units

King Henry Died By drinking chocolate milk

Kilometers - used to measure length (distance between 2 points

Grams – used to measure mass (quantity of matter in an object)

Liters – used to measure volume (amount of space taken up)

Density – ratio of an objects mass to volumeD = M/V

5 Ways to Presenting Scientific Data: data table – useful for organizing data

graphs – useful for showing changes in data

1. Line

2. Bar

3. Circle

4. Pictograph

2 types of graphs

1. direct proportional

2. inverse proportional
