 What is length?

 Distance between two

points
Length
Common units used for measuring
length

 1 mm = __________cm = _________m
= _______km
 ______mm = 1 cm = ______m =
______km
 ______mm = ______cm = 1 m =
______km
 ______mm = ______cm = _______m =
1 km
Common units used for measuring
length

 1 mm = 0.1 cm = 1 x 10-1= 0.001m

= 1 x 10-3 = 0.000001 km = 1 x 10-6
 10 mm = 1 cm = 0.1 m = 0.0001 km
 1000 mm =100 cm = 1 m = 0.001
km
 100000 mm = 1 x 105 = 10000 cm
= 1 x 104 = 1000 m = 1 km

 AREA
 total surface of an object
 For regular surface like square – can
be calculated by using formulae.
 For irregular shape like leaves –
estimate by using graph paper.
complete boxes + equal to half or
more than half ≠ area

Calculate you palm by using a 1cm2

 VOLUME
 Space occupied by an object / total
space of an object.
 Unit in cubic meter m3
 Using formulae for regular solid
objects
 Measuring cylinder, burette, pipette
and measuring flask.
 Eyes – same level – bottom of the
meniscus ( oil, water, alcohol) / top of
the meniscus (mercury)
