1. What is your
MEASURED
height in feet and
inches?
2. ESTIMATE
how tall you would be if you measured
your height in soda cans.
(Example: I estimate that
the desk is 10 soda cans tall.)
Please pass forward any Student Inventories and Lab
Safety Contracts which are DUE TODAY!

Converting Metric Units
•
Kilo-, centi-, and milli- are the most commonly
used metric unit conversions, so you should
know how to convert between units without a
calculator! Here’s a trick to help you:
Measuring & Estimating Lab
Directions:
• With a partner, you will rotate through 6 stations that ask you measure and estimate the physical properties of different things.
• At each station, follow the directions given and answer the questions for that station in your student work.
• You will have 3-4 minutes to complete each station and answer the questions, so work carefully, but be on task so you can rotate when it is time.
Measuring & Estimating Lab Stations
Make sure you are aware of where the next station is
before you move!
Station 1 Station 2 Station 3 Station 4 Station 5 Station 6
Check your answers with other
groups!
•
Station 1: Width of Penny
•
Station 2: Volume of Water
•
Station 3: Length of Book
•
Station 4: Time
•
Station 5: Room Temperature
•
Station 6: Mass of Eraser
Why is it important that we use set
units
when
we
measure
things in science?
