Essential Understandings
- Rulers are used to measure length
- Thermometers are used to measure temperature
- Scales are used to measure mass
- Clocks/Stopwatches are used to measure time/elapsed time
- Microscopes allow us to make observation of things that are too small to see with just our eyes.
Essential Questions
What are the common tools people use to get information?
Lesson Objectives
- Measure length using a ruler, metric and US units
- Measure temperature using a thermometer: metric, US and Kelvin units
- Identify four meaningful temperatures in Fahrenheit and Celsius.
- Explain the scientific significance of 0 Kelvin
- Measure mass using a digital scale and a triple-beam balance
- Measure time using a clock
- Measure elapsed time using a stopwatch
- Microscopes use lenses to magnify images so we can see detail beyond what just our eyes can see.
- Microscopes - What are the parts of the microscope called and what do each of these parts do?
