Math
We measure mass quantity of
matter
Measurement
invariable and independent
Mass (kg,g)
- Varies relation to distance
- Depend on the gravitational force
- The lower the gravitational force, the lower the weight and vice versa
Weight
- Space occupied by substance or object
- Bigger space = bigger volume
Volume (liter, mL)
- Distance covered of the certain object
- How long or short the object is
Length
Volume, mass degrees Fahrenheit, Celsius (American system), or kelvin (absolute temperature). Amount of kinetic energy present in a substance.
Temperature
High Temp (hot)
Large K.E
Low Temp (cold)
Low K.E
Water Boils at
100 degrees celsius, 112 degrees Fahrenheit, 373 Kelvin
- Derived dimension and derived units.
- lightness /heaviness of a substance
- Dense or not dense
- Depends on mass per given volume
Density (g/mL)
The ratio of density of the substance being referred to and density of water.
Specific Gravity
- Close to each other
- e.g. 76,77,76
Precise
Close agreement in true value
Accurate
(Internet, books)
True values
Measurement can be
Metric System (Philippines)
Metric System
Kilogram (mass)
- Rounded off
- Reliability in terms of large numbers
- More accurate = more significant
Significant Figures
- useful for very large and very small numbers, especially in non-SI units.
- Diamond is a pure carbon
Arrangement of carbon
Scientific Notation
empirical science
Chemistry
Chemistry is studied by
- Measuring physical properties and observing chemical reactions. (Boiling point, formation of bubbles? change in color so there is a reaction)
- Supported by facts and evidences
are created to explain observations and organize collected data.
Models
recorded via measurements. (Recorded the
temperature)
Observation in Science
included in observation
