Students will demonstrate the ability to measure matter involving one variable (i.e. g, kg, m, s, hr, ml, L, cm, km, celsius) of matter in at least two states (solid, liquid, gas).
Skills range:
Accurately measure commonly used lab substances.
Demonstrate accurate measurements across at least two of three states:
Liquid, (Gas), Solids, Energy
In doing so, you should show an understanding of at least two of the following variables:
Mass Volume Length Time Temperature
Possible equipment:
- Measuring cylinder
- Tablespoon
- Scales
- Stopwatch
- Thermometer
- Ruler
- Gas syringe
- Ammeter
- Voltmeter
Criteria:
- Select the correct equipment
- Accurately read from a scale
- Select correct units for measurement
- Record your measurement
Context:
This skill is practical-based and therefore needs to be observed by a teacher/mentor/technician by using appropriate laboratory equipment and showing appropriate calculations.
Safety:
Reading labels
Conscious of actions in the lab environment
Knowledge of hazards
