Measure length
![Page 3: How is matter measured](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a815a71a28ab79508b4623/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
Length is one property of matter that can be measured.
Length is the distance from one end of an object to the other end.

To measure length, you can use
Metric ruler
Meterstick

You can use these lengths to compare objects.For example, you can measure and compare the length of a pillbug and a beetle to determine which one is longer.

The basic metric unit of length is the meter (m). Shorter lengths are measured in centimeters (cm) or millimeters (mm). There are 100cm in a meter. There are 1000mm in a meter.
Longer distances are measured in kilometers (km). There are 1000m in a kilometer.

Measure and
Compare Volume

Another way to measure and compare matter is by volume.
The volume is the amount of space the object takes up.

Graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of a liquid.
Liter (L) is the basic metric unit for measuring liquid volume.
Milliliters (mL) are smaller parts of a liter marked by graduated cylinders.
There are 1000 milliliters in a liter.

You can measure the volume of a solid, like rock, using water.
A rock keeps its shape in water.A rock pushes water out of its way when it sinks.

Measure and
Compare Mass
![Page 15: How is matter measured](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a815a71a28ab79508b4623/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Mass of an object is the amount of matter it has.
Solids, liquids, and gases all have mass.Balance is a tool used to measure mass.

Gram (g) is a metric unit for mass. Kilograms (kg) measure larger matter. There are 1000 grams in a kilogram 1kg = 1000 g

Measure and compare
Temperature

You can different scales to measure temperature.The Celsius scale is often used in science.Degrees Celsius is written as C .
The fahrenheit scale is often used in everyday life in the united states.

The outside temperature is reported in degrees Fahrenheit.
Degrees Fahrenheit is written as F.Sometimes both scales are used.
