What is smaller, a cell or an

Think of different types of
matter…

In biology you learned that
organisms are made up of
cells

Are cells a form of matter?

up space)

Let’s think about cells again…
•You learned that a cell is the basic building block
of all living organisms Well an atom is the basic building block of ALL MATTER (including cells,
water, rocks, etc)
•In each cell there are approximately 100 trillion
(100,000,000,000,000) atoms!
•It is estimated that there are on
average 37 trillion cells in the human body.
•That is 37,000,000,000,000,

•There should only be ONE DIGIT to the left
of your decimal (ex 5.1, 2.6)
•n (the exponent) is the number of times the
decimal needs to be moved
•The + or – sign represent the direction the

SUBTRACTION
•In order to add/subtract numbers that are in
scientific notation their exponents must be the same!
•Ex)
• 5.0+3.2 = 8.2
•Rules for ADDING
•Check that the exponents of both numbers are the
same
•ADD the digits
•The exponent stays the same

Describing Matter
QUANTITATIVELY
•Measurements are quantitative and they
represent a quantity
•Quantity: something that has magnitude,
size, or amount. (what is being measure) •Examples: mass, volume, etc.
•Unit: a quantity adopted as a standard of
UNITS
•People have been using units
for thousands of years
•The ancient Egyptians used
the units of digits (the width of a finger) and cubits (tip of the elbow to the tip of the
UNITS
•
The Romans were famous road
builders and measured distances
in "paces“ (1 pace = two
UNITS
•In England distances were
defined with reference to body features of the king. (an inch
~the width of his thumb and a foot=the length of his foot)
•Not a very good system
(nothing was standardized)
•Eventually made a standard for
the measurements
The international system of
units (SI)
•
a revised version of the metric system
•standard system of measurement used in
science.

All metric units are based on multiples

What do we use to measure?
•MASS: Balance or scale •Units = grams
•VOLUME: Graduated Cylinder, used to measure
volume of a liquid or volume of a solid through water displacement.
•units= milliliters
•LENGTH: Ruler
•units = centimeter (meters)
•can be used further to derive other
Mass is not weight.
•Mass: the amount of a substance
•An unchanged object has the same mass all over
the universe. It is constant.
•Weight- the force produced by gravity acting on
mass or the measure of the gravitational pull on mass
•The weight of an object is affected by its location
because it depends on gravity.
•On the Moon you would weigh less (less
Derived Units
•Combinations of SI base units.
•Multiplying or dividing standard units. •Area: length x width.
Volume
• Amount of space occupied by an object. • Derived SI unit is cubic meters or m3
• Liter is often used and is not a SI unit. – 1 Liter = 1000 cm3

Match the units to the quantities they describe!
Problem Solving:
•You are on a road trip to Canada. Once
you cross the border, you notice that the speed limit is 90.
•You accelerate to 90 mph and stay at that speed.
•After a few minutes you are pulled over by
The US doesn’t us the International
System of Units (SI)

Canada (and almost every other country)
uses the International System of Units
•Only 3 countries don’t! (USA, Burma and
Liberia)
•
The speed limit in Canada was 90 Km/hr
(not 90 mph)!
Why do we need units?
•A number means nothing without a Unit.
•Units give sense to numerical data
•Units provide a standard for comparison
and communication
•They assist in solving a mathematical
problem, especially in chemistry, where you can follow the units to get to the answer
•They show which measurement system the

Conversion factors
•
Quantities can usually be expressed in
several different ways
THINK OF
MONEY.
•
1 dollar= 4 quarters= 10 dimes= 20
nickels= 100 pennies
•
They are all expressions (measurements)
Conversion factors
•Conversion Factors: a ratio of equivalent
measurements that can be used to convert from one unit to another
•EXAMPLE 1- MASS
• 1 gram= 100 centigrams is a
conversion factor
•
Conversion factors involve an
equality of two things.
•
Any equality can be written as a
conversion factor
•
1000 mg = 1 g
•
1 dozen = 12 of something
•3 ft = 1 yard

changed, but the actual size of the quantity

Converting Temperature
There are three temperature scales•Fahrenheit Scale (oF)
• water boils at 212 oF and freezes at 32 oF
•normal body temp is 98.6 oF.
•Celsius Scale (oC ): like the metric system, it is bases
on powers of 10.
• water boils at 100 oC and freezes at 0 oC.
•Kelvin Scale (K), no degree symbol.
Converting Temperature
•Celsius to Kelvin: formula: K = °C + 273 •Ex: 45 °C to K
• K = 45 + 273
• Answer: 318 K
•Kelvin to Celsius: °C = K - 273 •Ex: 307 K to oC
•°C = 307 – 273 •Answer: 34 °C
Converting Temperature
°C to °F
: °F = 1.8 (°C ) + 32
•Ex: 27 oC to oF
•°F = ( 1.8 x 27 ) + 32
•°F = 48.6 +32 = 80.6 °F
°F to °C: °C = ( °F - 32 ) / 1.8
•Ex: 149 oF to oC
Precision vs Accuracy
•Accuracy: The closeness of measurements to the
correct or accepted value of the quantity measured
• Precision: the exactness of a measurement •Values that are close to one another, but not
