Equipment You will need the following items from your lab kits: Scale that can measure 0.1g increments ( kit) Graduated cylinder ( kit) Tape measure ( kit) In addition, you will need: Penny piece of notebook paper Coffee table (any table will do) Shoe pencil or pen room (any room will do) paper clip three small containers (small glass, Dixie cup, small Tupperware, etc.) Exercise 1 – Length Measure the lengths of the objects using your tape measure from your lab kit. Exercise 1 will give you an idea of how familiar you are with metric measurements of length. Object Length Penny 19.05mm Your shoe 27.3 cm Coffee table length 1.4m Your hand 16.5 cm Tip of a pencil or pen 3.1mm Turn in the completed table (Canvas). Exercise 2 – Mass (Weight) Measure the weights of the objects using the scale to 0.1g. You will also need your graduated cylinder to measure out 10 mL of water. Exercise 2 gives you an idea of how familiar you are with measurements of weight. Don’t forget to tare (zero) the scale before you add any objects. You should also tare the scale with the empty graduated cylinder before you add water to it.
Object Weight Penny 2.5G Pen or Pencil 20.3g Paper Clip 1.0g Slice of Bread 24.9g Tube of toothpaste 109.7g 10mL of water 13.3g Turn in the completed table (Canvas). Exercise 3– Volume Measure the volume of 3 full containers of your choice with water (make sure they are less than ½ liter---use a liter of soda for reference) using your graduated cylinder from your home lab kit. Exercise 3 will give you an idea of how familiar you are with metric measurements of volume. Object Volume Container 1 90.5mL Container 2 60.2mL Container 3 40.3mL Turn in the completed table (Canvas). Exercise 4– Metric conversion (moving the decimal point: which direction and how far) When using this scale to determine how far to move the decimal point make sure to count all of the vertical lines even lines without prefixes. Convert the following units of Length:
a. 4.0 mm = _____0.4cm b. 7.0 nm = ________0.000007mm c. 34.0 cm = _______340mm d. 61.0 μm = _______61000nm e. 420.0 nm = ______ 0.00042mm f. 98.0 nm = ________0.098μm g. 72.0 m = ________7200cm h. 5.0 km = ______5000m Convert the following units of Mass: a. 0.5 kg = ______500g b. 7.4 μg = ______7400ng c. 3.6g = ________0.0036kg d. 8.7 μg = ______0.0087mg e. 42.0mg = ________ 42000μg f. 9.0 ng = __________0.009 μg g. 903.0mg = _______ 90.3cg h. 5.0g = __________ 5000mg Convert the following units of Volume: a. 4.0 mL = ______ 4000.00μL b. 7.0 nL = ____________ 0.000007mL c. 3.8mL = ____________0.0038 L d. 876.0 μL = _____________876000nL e. 420.0 nL = ___________ 0.42μL f. 0.29L = __________ 290mL g. 0.36mL = _________ 360000nL h. 670,000,000.0 nL = __________0.67L Submit (turn in) your conversion answers (Canvas).
