MEASURING MATTER AND DATA

ANALYSIS

Lesson 1.2
OBJECTIVES

Students will use evidence to Students will analyze the


identify and describe data to identify and calculate
• How matter can be • Properties of matter that
measured can be determined through
• How mass compares to measurement.
weight • Density as a function of
mass and volume.
UNITS OF MEASUREMENT

• SI Units – International System of


Units based on 7 base units
BASE UNITS

• Measurements ”based” on naturally occurring


object or event in the real world
• Second (s) – used to measure time
• Meter (m) – used to measure length and
distance
• Kilogram (kg) – used to calculate mass
• Grams (g) – used to measure the smallest
amounts of matter
• Measured with a triple beam balance scale
• Kelvin (K) – used to measure temperature
DERIVED UNITS
• Derived SI units are formed by combining base
units using algebraic equations to link different
quantities
• Volume - the amount of space an object takes
up
• SI Unit for solids
• m3 (cubic meters)
• cm3 (cubic centimeters)
• mm3 (cubic millimeters)
• SI Unit for liquids
• L (liters)
• mL (milliliters)
• 1 mL = 1/1000 L = 1 cm3
• Gases do not have a definite volume
• Move to fill up space
THE VOLUME OF REGULARLY SHAPED OBJECTS

• Volume can be measured with a ruler


• Measure length, width and height
• Insert the values into formula
• Volume= length x width x height
• SI Unit is cm3
THE VOLUME OF IRREGULARLY-
SHAPED OBJECTS

• Displacement Method
• Put water in graduated
cylinder.
• Read the water level.
• Place object in a graduated
cylinder and read the
meniscus.
• Record the new volume.
• Find the difference
• SI Unit is mL

MEASURING DENSITY

• Density - measure of mass of a substance


per volume
• Density is a property that can be used to
identify substances
• Each substance has a unique density
• Ex: water, soil, oil
• Density = mass/volume
• SI Unit = g/mL or g/cm3
• Measuring density using water
• Water has a density of 1.0 g/mL
• Substances that float in water have a
density less than 1.0 g/mL
• Substances that sink in water have density
greater than 1.0 g/mL
CALCULATING
DENSITY, MASS,
AND VOLUME
SCIENTIFIC NOTATION

• Writing really small or really big


numbers in a simple form
• The base should always be 10
• Can be positive or negative
• Examples of scientific notation
• 490000000 = 4.9×108
• 1230000000 = 1.23×109
• 50500000 = 5.05 x 107
• 0.000000097 = 9.7 x 10-8
• 0.0000212 = 2.12 x 10-5
REPRESENTING DATA
• Circle Chart (pie chart) – useful for showing parts of a fixed
whole. (Does not show changes over time)
• Bar Chart – shows how a quantity varies with factors (time,
temp)
• x-axis (horizontal line)
• Time period
• Names of things being compared
• y-axis (vertical line)
• Amount of stuff being measured
• Line Graph – graph used most in chemistry
• The points on a line graph represent the intersection of data
for two variables
• X-axis = independent variable (scientist deliberately
changes)
• Y-axis = dependent variable
