2025 Scientific Measurements Test

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.

1.5

Select all of the following statements that are TRUE about the Standard System of Measurement

1

Which of the following instruments does NOT contain 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

Ounces (oz) is a unit from the __________ and measures the dimension of __________

1

Liter (L) is a unit from the __________ and measures the dimension of __________

1

Which of the following is an example of a dimension?

1

Which of the following is an example of qualitative data?

1

What is the main difference between electronic and mechanical instruments?

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

0.5

Scientists Prefer to use mechanical instruments

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

Which event led to the creation of the metric system?

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 a bonus. 

Note: Each short answer/essay is worth 2X's. On your Formative, the first question says it's worth 4 points. I am using this question to put the total point value you earned on BOTH essay questions. Formative does not all

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.

You MUST fully explain each reason you provide to get full credit.
