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 (⁵/₈inch)

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?

null

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

1

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.

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….”

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

1

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

All of the above

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

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

Comparing some aspect of an object to an appropriate measuring standard

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

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

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)

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

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

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