Introduction
• Numbers are important when measuring.
• When trying to find the feet or pounds or degrees measuring come in hand.
• You can use different things to measure such as your body.

Measuring Length And Distance
• If you want to measure length and distance by using a meter stick
• Also, you can use a meter stick by measuring a car by using it`s centimeter and millimeters.
• Also, you can use chalk or tape where the car stopped.

Ruler
• A ruler is used measure length in the U.S Customary system.
• A ruler can be also, used from it`s inches which can go up to 12.
• It can also, be used by it`s centimeters too to measure a growing plant Need a ruler?

It`s A Fact
• French invented the metric system in the late 1700`s.
• Also, the U.S Customary system.
• Most people besides the United States use the metric system.

It`s A Facts
• Another tool for measuring things is a yardstick in the U.S Customary system.
• Another tool is metal measuring tape.
• A common length for household used in 12 feet.

Measuring Mass
• Measurements of the mass are usually given in metric units.
• The mass of a very large item is noted in kilometers small items are measured in grams.

Balance
• If a balance has one pan the object whose mass you want to measure is placed on the pan.
• Standard masses are placed on the second pan until leveled.
• The total of the standard masses placed on the pan is equal to the mass of the object.

Measuring Weight
• Most scientists use a metric (SI) unit called the newton to express weight.
• But most of us express weight in pounds, the U.S. customary unit of weight.
• When we measures an objects weight, we are measuring the force of gravity.

Spring Scale
• It measures the force of gravity on a object that is placed on the spring.
• When a scientist in a lab used a spring scale when he or she hangs and object from a hook.
• Use a spring scale to compare the force of gravity on two object.

Measuring Volume
• A quart is a unit of measurement in U.S. customary system,
• A liter is a unit of measurement in the metric system.
• The volume of an object indicates how much space it takes up.

Beaker
• If a tool used to measure volume.
• Some beakers shows both ounces and millimeters.
• A beaker can used to show how some mixture can separate into their original parts.

Graduated Cylinder
• Is another tool used to measure volume.
• Use a graduated cylinder to find the volume of a solid.
• The measurement tells you the volume of the eraser.

Measuring Temperature
• Temperature is measured in units called degress.
