| the basic unit of measurment in the si system | meter |
| used measure objects smaller than a meter | the centimeter |
| 100 cm | 1 meter |
| 1000 mm | 1 meter |
| the measure of how much matter an object contains | mass |
| the basic unit of mass | kilogram |

| a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object | weight |
| the amount of space an object takes up | volume |
| a common unit used to measue the volume of liquids | liter |
| you can measure smaller liquid volumes using... | millimeters |
| 1000 ml | 1 liter |
| scientists commonly use this to measure liquid volmes | graduated cylinder |
| the unit used to measure the volume of a solid object | cubic centimeter |
| for solid objects with a larger volume scientists use this | cubic meter |
| to find the volume of an irregullar object you would | immerse the object in water and see how muc the water level rises |
| a measure of how much mass is contained ina given volume | density |
| how to calculate density | you divide the mass by the volume |
| the density of an object | stays the same |
| an object will float if it is ____ ____ than the surronding liquid | less dense |
| an object will ____ if it is more dense than the surrounding liquid | sink |
| the si unit used to measure time | seconds |
