1

Any measurable aspect of something. (Examples: Mass, Time, Distance)

1

Comparing some aspect of an object to an appropriate measuring standard

1

The name and size of a portion of a dimension that has the value of one (in, cm, g)

1

A quantity of a dimension with a value of one that everyone agrees to use for comparison

1

A collection of units of measurement and rules relating them to each other that are agreed upon as a standard for quantifying various physical features.

(Main examples: Metric and Imperial)

1

Occurs when someone imposes his presuppositions or assumptions on the results without ever interacting with or measuring the item in question.

1

The individual spacings and markings (tick marks) on a scale that show the steadily increasing units of the dimension

1

Any man-made device a scientist uses that includes a standard for measuring.

1

1

Which of the following is NOT an example of a graduated scale?

1

What are the two parts of a measurement?

1

The Kilometer (km) is a unit from the __________ and measures the dimension of __________

1

The Kilometer (km) is a unit from the __________ and measures the dimension of __________

1

The milliliter (ml) is a unit that is used when measuring the dimension of __________. The milliliter is part of the __________ system of measurement.

1

The ounce (oz.) is a unit that is used when measuring the dimension of __________. The ounce is part of the __________ system of measurement.

1

The job of the unit is to identify the dimension and relative size of the object we're measuring

1

The only difference between mechanical and electronic instruments is that electronic instruments are powered by electricity or batteries. Otherwise, they are the same in the way they are used/read and how they function

1

Meter is an example of a dimension

1

An equivalent and a conversion factor are the exact same thing (in format and use)

1

The Imperial System uses decimals for small quantities because each dimension is separated by the power of 10

1

Measuring brings glory to God because it allows us to use what we know more effectively and to be better equipped to help our neighbors.

1

When writing an EQUIVALENT, you always put the unit you're converting to first.

1

A job of the unit is to tell us which dimension we're measuring and its relative size

1

Electronic or Digital Instruments have graduated scales that the user must read.

1

Both the Metric System and the Standard System of measurement have ONLY ONE base unit for each dimension that can be measured.

1

Which is the CORRECT format for writing a conversion factor.

1

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of conversion factors? “Conversion Factors are….”

1

Why do scientist use instruments?

You only need to answer TWO of the following short answer/essay questions. 

You may answer the third one for extra credit. I will take the two responses you score highest on for your test and the third (if you do it) as bonus. 

4

What type of data do scientists prefer to use (state the name and a brief description) AND why do they prefer it?

0

What type of measurement system do scientists prefer to use AND WHY?

0

After the Metric System was created, describe 3 events that caused it to spread and ultimately last until this day?

0

Why do scientist use instruments?

2

The fluid ounce (fl. oz.) is a unit that is used when measuring the dimension of __________. The fluid ounce is part of the __________ system of measurement.

1

The unit's job is to identify the amount or quantity we have.

4

This is where I recorded how many total points you received for your combined written answers and noted any bonus points

0

What is a cubit and how was its length determined?

0

What type of data (quantitative or qualitative) & which system of measurement (standard or metric) do scientists use? AND WHY?

I have given you the options in (parentheses) for each category. State which one scientists choose and explain why they choose that option for BOTH the data and system of measurement categories.

1

Which of the following is NOT a base unit used in the metric system?

0.5

Which of the following is NOT a reason that standard units of measurement are important
