standardIn measurement, an exact quantity that everyone agrees to use as a comparison: for examplea centimeter, meter, kilogram, cubic decimeter, milliliter, liter, kelvin, joule, and so on.
SIInternational System of Units: standard easyto use, worldwide system of measurement based on powers of 10. The SI standards are used by all scientists, and are a modern version of the metric system.
meterThe SI units of length 110 cm= 1m
volumeThe amount of space occupied by an object: volume units are found by combining other SI units of length
Derived unitsUNits of measurementobtained by combining SI units: for example, density is a derived unit formed by dividing an object's mass by it volume
literThe unit of liquid volume (L) that occupies the same volum as a cubic decimeter (dm3) and is slightly larger than a quart
massA measurement of the amount of matter in a pbject: its Si unit is kilogram
kilogramThe SI unit of mass: 1 kilogram (k) =1000 grams (g)
densityThe mass per unit volume of a material (g/cm3): describes how tightly packed a substance's molecules are.
timeThe invertal between 2 events: the SI unit for time is the the second
SecondThe SI unit for time
KelvinThe SI unit of temperature :zero K=absolute zero (the coldest possible temperature -273 degrees Celsius
graphA visual display of information or data- such as line graph, bar graph, and circle graph - organized to help people interpret, understand, or quickly find information
lengthIn measurement the mdistance between 2 points
