HW:

10 cm

9 cm

8 cm

V = L x W x H

V = 10cm x 8cm x 9cm

V = 720 cm3

Example:

V1 =11.5 mL

V2 = 20 mL

V = 20 –11.5

V = 8.5 mL

•Measures temperature

•Tube filled with a fluid such as alcohol

Thermometer

1.Fahrenheit Scale: Non-metric temp scale

°F

2 scales used to measure temperature

•Water freezes = 32°F•Water boils = 212°F•Human body temp = 98.6°F

2.Celsius Scale: Metric scale°C

•Water freezes = 0°C•Water boils = 100°C•Human body temp = 37°C

Measuring with a

thermometer

24°C
