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

Select all of the following statements that are TRUE about the Standard System of Measurement
It is also called the Imperial System
It was first established in France, and uses the abbreviation (SI)
It is the main measurement system used across the world.
It uses fractions for small quantities (5/8 inch)
It is used by the U.S.
You can use the "Ladder Method" to convert from one unit to another within this system
Which of the following instruments does NOT contain a graduated scale?
What are the two parts of a measurement?
Number & Dimension
Number & Unit
Unit & Dimension
Which of the following is an example of a dimension?
Miles per hour
Grams
℃ (Celsius)
Volume
Which of the following is an example of qualitative data?
The solution turned blue when mixed and had a gritty texture
The average speed of the car was 60 mph for the 3 hour trip.
The mass of the object is 250 grams more than the other object
The liquid has a temperature of 37°C while the solid's temperature is 32°C
What is the main difference between electronic and mechanical instruments?
Mechanical instruments display results on a digital screen
Mechanical instruments require users to read a graduated scale
Both require electronic power to function
Electronic instruments require users to compare the display with a manual to determine the amount.
Meter is an example of a dimension
True
False
An equivalent and a conversion factor are the exact same thing (in format and use)
True
False
The Imperial System uses decimals for small quantities because each dimension is separated by the power of 10
True
False
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.
True
False
When writing an EQUIVALENT, you always put the unit you're converting to first.
True
False
A job of the unit is to tell us which dimension we're measuring and its relative size
True
False
Scientists Prefer to use mechanical instruments
True
False
Both the Metric System and the Standard System of measurement have ONLY ONE base unit for each dimension that can be measured.
True
False
Which is the CORRECT format for writing a conversion factor.
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of conversion factors?
“Conversion Factors are….”
Must include the units of measurement
Have an overall value equal to one
Measurements that always put the largest unit on top
Written as a fraction
Which event led to the creation of the metric system?
French Revolution
Industrial Revolution
Scientific Revolution
American Revolution
Why do scientist use instruments?
To take reliable measurements that aren't impacted by observational bias
Because our human senses can't produce numerical measurements
instruments help to extend, refine, and substitute for human senses
