Unit 03 Measurement in Science
I understand that we quantify our world using measurement.
Target 03-01: Use the SI System to express measurements
“I can” statements:
03-01 a: List the seven base units used in the SI System of Measurement and define the quantity they are used to measure
03-01 b: Use the correct units for a quantity that is measured.
03-01 c: Use metric prefixes to adjust the size of the measurement unit.
03-01 d: Compare SI base units to derived units in the SI system. Show how derived units are constructed.
Target 03-02: Use the SI system to make measurements accurately and precisely.
“I can” statements:
03-02 a: Use the correct tool, number of significant digits, and unit in linear measurement of: length, width, height, depth, and diameter.
03-02 b: Use the correct tool, number of significant digits, and unit in measurement of mass.
03-02 c: Use the correct tool, number of significant digits, and unit in the measurement of liquid volume.
03-02 d: Use the correct tool, number of significant digits, and unit in the measurement of volume of irregular solids.
03-02 e: Use the correct tool, number of significant digits, and unit in the measurement of weight.
03-02 f: Use the correct tool, number of significant digits, and unit in the measurement of temperature.
Target 02-03 Use math and graphs to analyze data.
“I can” statements:
02-03 a: Use dimensional analysis and funneling down to solve SI conversion problems.
02-03 b: Use dimensional analysis and funneling down to solve problems in area, total surface area, volume of regular solids, and weight (from mass).
02-03 c: Use scientific notation to express very large and very small numbers.
