Pg 64 A. Measurement - a quantity that has both a number and a unit. 1. For example, how much do you weigh? 2. In order for this to be a proper measurement, it must contain a number and a unit. B. Science is very dependent on measurements. C. Every time a scientist performs an experiment, something is being measured. D. The four things in the universe are commonly measured in chemistry. 1. Matter measured as mass or weight 2. Space measured as volume 3. Energy measured as temperature (energy has other measurements) 4. Time measured as time E. There is a very basic relationship between these 4 things in the universe. Energy moves matter through space and it takes some time. F. Everything everywhere is doing this. Questions 1. What is a measurement? 2. What are the 4 measurements common in chemistry? a) b) c) d) 3. What is the relationship between these 4 things measured in chemistry?

3 Target 2 - Associate different measurements with their proper units. Pg 73 A. The universe can be measured using many units. B. There are 3 systems for making measurements. 1. English System - used only in the United States 2. Metric System - Used around the world 3. SI System Used around the world in science (SI stands for System International ) Universe Measurement English unit Metric unit SI unit 1. Matter 2. Space 3. Energy 4, Time Target 3 - Analyze measurement as a function of Accuracy and Precision. Pg 64 A. Accuracy the closeness of a measurement to the true value of what is being measured. B. Precision the reproducibility of a measurement when it is repeated. Consider the example below: 3.1 Measurements and Their > Accuracy, Precision, and Error Uncertainty Slide 9 of 48 Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Target 4 - Explain the Reasons for Error in Measurement. Pg 64 A. Accuracy in measurements 1. All sciences rely on. 2. Human beings of course are the ones who make the measurements. 3. Human beings are imperfect and make mistakes. 4. When mistakes are made, it is called. 5. Error mistake or accidental incorrectness 6. When humans make measurements, there are 2 factors that can cause error. a. The ability to properly read a measuring tool b. The quality of the measuring tool B. These 2 scenarios can both lead to ERROR 1. Example 1: A person can have a very accurate measuring tool and not know how to use it 2. Example 2: A person can be very skilled at measuring, but have poor measuring tools

4 Questions 1. What is accuracy? 2. What is precision? 3. What is error? 4. Describe the 2 scenarios that lead to error. a. b. Target 5 - Calculate percent error. Pg 65 A. Percent error 1. Percent error - a calculation that determines the of a person s measurement. 2. In other words, it can determine how correct or incorrect a measurement is. 3. There are 2 terms that you need to know in order to calculate percent error. a. Accepted value b. Experimental value 4. Accepted value the correct value based on reliable information. Information listed on a label of something is generally an accepted value. 5. Example, If you buy a gallon of milk, the container will say 1 Gallon This is the accepted value. 6. Experimental value a value that is measured in a lab (by you). B. Calculations 1. When taking scientific measurements, human beings make errors. The amount of error can be determined by simple mathematics. 2. This number should be written as a percent and gives a scientist an idea how accurate s(he) was. For example: The known value for the Lab table was 829 cm. Jack Belittle measured the lab table to be 813 cm. What is Jack s percent error? 829 cm 813 cm x 100 = 1.93% 829 cm **This says that Jack s measurement was off by 1.93% (not bad) Practice Percent error Accepted Value Experimental value Percent error 1) 255 milliliters 271 milliliters 2) 78.4 grams 82.6 grams 3) grams grams 4) 10.1 meters 9.12 meters 5).0675 liters.0758 liters Questions

When he gets home, he measures the volume of the orange juice with various tools around the house. His measurement says that he has 1.2 gallons of orange juice. a. What is the accepted value? b. What is the experimental value? 5. Calculate the percent error of Kyle s measurement? Show your work. PART B THE ARITHMETIC OF SCIENCE AND SIGNIFICANT FIGURES Target 6 - Determine the numerical place value of whole numbers and decimal numbers. A. Number - an expression that represents the counting of (includes all digits) B. Whole number digits left of the decimal point C. Decimal number digits right of the decimal point (aka decimal place) D. Place value name of the place or location of a digit in a number E. Figure written symbol usually a part of a number F. Digit - written symbol usually a part of a number G. All figures (digits) will have a place value. Example 1 Notes label all words listed above Example Place value Before the decimal figure Place value After the decimal figure Hundreds place Tenth place Tens place Ones place Hundredth place Thousandth place Questions

Target 7 Round numbers to the proper place value. A. Rounding numbers process where the amount of figures in a number is properly shortened. B. Proper place value place value that you should round to. C. There are 4 basic rules 1. The proper place value may or may not change 2. The figure that follows the proper place value will determine how to round. 3. Figures between 1 and 4 cause no change and are simply removed. 4. Figures between 5 and 9 will cause the proper place value to increase by 1. Notes Practice Number Proper place value Answer Number Proper place value Ones 9 Hundredth Ones 10 Hundredth Ones 11 Hundredth Ones 12 Hundredth Tenth 13 Tens Tenth 14 Ones 6.9 Tenth 15 Tenth 7.59 Tenth 16 Hundredth Answer Target 8 - Make proper measurements using common tools in chemistry. A. Tools for measurement in chemistry will measure the four things in the universe matter, energy, space, and time B. Reading a measuring tool properly takes and understanding. C. In order to read a measuring tool properly, you must understand how the decimal system works.

7 D. For this reason, the metric system must be used for all scientific measurements because the metric system is based on the. E. All units in the metric system can be divided by 10. (English system is based on fractions). F. To take a proper measurement from a lab tool, you must include one last digit past the smallest increment marked on the lab tool. G. Consider these examples - centimeters 1 Answer here Target 9 - Estimate the uncertain digit. A. All measuring tools have. B. Measuring tools can only measure to 1/10 of its smallest graduation. C. For example, the measuring tool shown below can measure accurately to the ones and tenths place value. D. It can also measure to the hundredths place based on the observer s. E. The uncertain digit is estimated as 1/10 of the smallest graduation. F. Uncertain digit last digit in a scientific measurement that is. G. A person s ability to measure properly is called accuracy. H. In order for a person to measure accurately, they must include an accurate uncertain digit. Target 10 - Define significant figures and Explain why they are important. Pg 66 A. Significant figure a count of all the digits that can be known accurately in a measurement, plus a last estimated digit. (aka sig figs) Ruler Z B. Lets assume that ruler Z (above) measures in centimeters. C. It is counting in the ones place, is graduated to measure in the tenths place, and therefore is limited to a last figure in the hundredths place. The measurement above would be 6.25 centimeters. D. It is improper to write a number beyond the measurement capability of the measuring tool. E. Therefore, a measurement like this ; has too many figures. The seven is insignificant because the measuring tool cannot measure to that place value. F The seven would therefore be used to round the final measurement to G. Why are significant figures important? 1. Significant figures will eliminate unnecessary numbers after the decimal. For example, enter this into your calculator 153 / You don t need all of these numbers where do you cut them off?

8 H. Significant figures are important because they express the accuracy of a measurement. (decimal place value) Questions This is a thermometer that measures degrees Celsius. 1. What is the accurate measurement for this measuring tool? 2. What place value is the uncertain digit? 5. Draw your own line on the thermometer to represent a measurement of 31.7 degrees Celsius. Target 11 Determine the significant figures in a measurement. 5 Golden Rules of Significant Figures 1. All digits 1-9 inclusive are significant. Example: 129 has 3 significant figures 2. Zeros between significant digits are always significant. Example: 5007 has 4 significant figures 3. Trailing zeros in a number are significant only if the number contains a decimal point Example: has 4 significant figures. 100 has 1 significant figure. 4. Zeros in the beginning of a number whose only function is to place the decimal point are not significant. Example: has 2 significant figures. 5. Zeros following a decimal significant figure are significant. Examples: has 3 significant figures has 5 significant figures. Rule 1 Sig figs Rule 4 Sig figs Rule 2 Rule

19 PART F - DENSITY Target 33 - Describe/define density. A. There are several ways of describing density 1. Density is the relationship between an object s mass and 2. Density can be calculated by dividing an object s mass by its volume. D = M / V or Density = Mass / Volume 3. Density will have units mass and volume. a. For example, the density of quartz is grams/milliliters 4. Any sample size of the same substance will have the same. a. Example: a liter of water will have the same density as a swimming pool of water. 5. Density can also be a description of how a sample of matter is. 6. A substance of lesser density will always float on a substance of greater density. a. Example: oil floats in water therefore, oil is less dense than water. Target 34 - Explain density as a measure of Compactness (Page 90) A. What is meant by compact? B. Remember that is anything made of atoms. C. Atoms can be squeezed together to occupy less space (less volume). D. When the volume of matter is squeezed together, it is more compact. 1. Example You can squeeze a pillow to a smaller volume the squeezed pillow would be considered more compact than a pillow left unbothered. However, the squeezed pillow would have the as the unbothered pillow. Therefore the compact pillow is more dense. 2. More compact = more dense. 3. If atoms are closer together, they occupy less space (more compact) Questions 1. What can you say about atoms that are squeezed together? 2. What is meant by the term compact? 3. Allyson Tyra squeezes a sponge and it becomes smaller. What can be said about the density of the sponge after she squeezed it? 4. How many units will a measurement of density have? Target 35 - Calculate the volume of various forms of matter including solid shapes cube, sphere, irregular - using the metric system. A. Calculating the volume of a liquid is easy, just pour the liquid in a graduated cylinder and read the graduations. B. Calculating the volume of a solid is more challenging; you have to know the dimensions. C. We will measure (calculate) the volume of 3 shapes. 1. Cube/rectangular box 2. Sphere 3. Irregular

20 Calculate the volume of a rectangle or cube. Formula -- - Volume = L x W x H Length =4.05 cm Width = 3.75 cm Height=3.50 cm Calculate the volume of a sphere. Formula --- Volume = 4/3πr 3 Radius = 2.25cm Measure the volume of an irregular shape Notes Target 36 - Explain the relationship between milliliters and cubic centimeters (page 89) 1 milliliter = 1 cubic centimeter OR 1 ml = 1cm 3 Notes Questions: 1. How many cubic centimeters is 10 milliliters? 2. How many cubic centimeters is milliliters? 3. How many milliliters is 34 cubic centimeters? 4. How many milliliters is 88.9 cubic centimeters? 5.

21 Target 37 - Solve single variable algebraic equations Notes Target 38 - Calculate density (Page 90) A. Calculating density requires the following equation D = M / V or Density = Mass / Volume B. Just like in Algebra, you replace letters with appropriate numbers. C. Whenever you are asked to calculate density, you will be given mass and volume. Notes Examples; 1. Zach Busse has a cube with a mass of 244 grams and a volume of 103 milliliters. What is the density of the cube? 2. Laura Kaufman has a rock with a mass of grams and a volume of milliliters. What is the density of the cookie dough? 3. Caleb Hale has a ball of cookie dough with a mass of 25 grams and a volume of 75 milliliters. What is the density of the rock? 4. Place the objects in order from lowest density to highest density. Low Medium High

22 Target 39 - Calculate volume (Page 92) A. When calculating the volume of an object, you must know the density and the mass. B. Calculating Volume uses the same equation as used above. Notes Examples 1. Nicole Ferrara has a marble with a density of 2.61 grams per milliliter (g/ml) and a mass of 101 grams. What is the volume of the marble? 2. David Jones has a basketball with a density of.896 g/ml and a mass of 241 grams. What is the volume? 3. Brittany Moeckel has a steel bowling ball with a density of 7.81 g/ml and a mass of 802 grams. What is the volume of the ball? 4. Place the objects in order from lowest volume to highest volume. Low Medium High Target 40 - Calculate mass (Page 92) A. When calculating the Mass of an object, you must know the density and the volume. B. Calculating Mass uses the same equation as used above. Notes Examples 1.
