SCIENCE
systematized or organized body of
knowledge based on observation,
experimentation and study.
comes from the Latin word Scientia
- knowledge or knowing
6. +
PHYSICAL
SCIENCE
deals with the study of
non-living things, their
composition, nature,
characteristics, the
changes they have
undergone and the
factors affecting these
changes
7. +
BRANCHES OF
PHYSICAL SCIENCE
Chemistry- the
study of “matter”-
its composition,
properties,
structure and the
changes it
undergoes.

MEASUREMENT
Collection of quantitative
data
Made by comparing an
unknown quantity with a
standard unit
Example:The length of a
piece of string can be
measured by comparing the
string against a meter stick.

15. + SYSTEMS OF
MEASUREMENT
ENGLISH SYSTEM- most commonly used
in the US.
Disadvantage: units are not systematically
related to each other and require
memorization.
METRIC (SI)- used by the scientist around
the world. Adopted from the French name
Le Systeme Internationale d’ Unites
20. + LENGTH
Measurement of anything from end to end
How long an objects is
The basis of length units for the metric system is
the meter.
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters = 25.4 millimeters
1 foot = 30.48 centimeters
1 yard = 0.91 meters
1 mile = 1.6 kilometers
1 millimeter = 0.04 inches
1 centimeter = .39 inches = 0.0325 feet
1 meter = 3.28 feet
1 kilometer = 0.62 miles
21. + MASS ANDWEIGHT
Mass and weight are not the same thing. Although we often
use the interchangeably, each one has a specific definition
and usage.
Mass- measure of the amount of matter in an object.The
mass of an object is independent of its location.The basic
unit form mass is kilogram (kg) .
Weight- force of attraction between the object and the
earth’s gravity.The weight of an object can vary from place
to place and changes with its location on the Earth.
23. +
TIME
Interval between two occurrences.The
basic unit for time is second.
• 1 minute (60 seconds)
• 1 hour (60 minutes, or 3,600 seconds)
• 1 day (24 hours, or 86,400 seconds)
• 1 week (7 days, or 604,800 seconds)
• 1 month (28-31 days, or 2,419,200-
2,678.400 seconds)
• 1 year (about 365.25 days, or about
31,557,600 seconds)
24. + TEMPERATURE
Measure of how hot or cold an object is.The basic unit for
temperature is Kelvin.

A conversion factor is a term that
converts a quantity in one unit to a
quantity in another unit.
Factor-label method is the
process of using conversion factors
to convert a quantity in one unit to
a quantity in another unit.
CONVERTING UNITS: USING
THE FACTOR-LABEL METHOD
35. +
The conversion factor
must relate the two
quantities in questions.
The conversion factor
must cancel out the
unwanted unit.
36. +
Let’s say we want to convert 130 lb to
kilograms.
130 lb X conversion factor= ____ kg
Two possible conversion factors:
2.21 lb or 1 kg__
1 kg 2.21 lb
37. +
130 lb x 1 kg__ = 59 kg
2.21 lb
Pound (lb) must be the denominator
to cancel the unwanted unit (lb) in the
original quantity.
40. +
AREA
amount of two-dimensional space taken up
by an object
the size of a surface
Area of rectangle(A) = length(l) x width(w)
Area of circle (A)= π × r2
41. + This table lists different area units, and
values that will help you change units of
area measurements:

1 L = 10 dL
1 L = 1000 mL
1 000 L = 1 m3
1 dL = 100 mL
1 mL = 1 cm3

1 cc = .001 L
1 L= 1 000 cc
43. + DENSITY
Mass per unit volume
Units: g/cc , g/cm3
, g/mL

RULES FOR USING SIGNIFICANT
FIGURES IN CALCULATIONS
When adding or subtracting
significant figures, the answer
should have the same number of
decimal places as the original
number with the fewest decimal
places.
67. + Example:
Baby Zayn weighed 3.6 kg at birth and
10.11 kg on his first birthday. How much
weight did he gain in his first year of life.
10.11 kg
- 3.6 kg
6. 51 kg
•The answer can have only one digit after
the decimal point.
•Round 6.51 to 6.5
•Baby Zayn gained 6.5 kg during his first
year of life.
