Scientific Measurement
We do not cover a specific unit on measurement for 7th grade science. However, we will be measuring various substances during the semester. Please use the videos below to help you prepare for lab.
SI Units
SI units are those that are most commonly used when measuring materials in labs and are used for calculations.
Scientific Measurements use the Metric System. This system is based on 10s and easier to use mathematically and the !
Mass - grams (g)
Volume - liters (L), most commonly in lab - mL

How to use a Graduated Cylinder
This video does an excellent job demonstrating how to use a graduated cylinder. We will not be using graduated cylinders to measure the volume of a solid at this time. |
