An Introduction to Chemistry: Measurement and Units
written by Mark Bishop
This is a Power Point presentation on measurement for beginning learners with little or no background in the physical sciences. Teachers may download the entire 30-page document or select individual pages to supplement their own lessons. The author does an especially nice job of integrating scale and comparison diagrams to help learners visualize distance, volume, and mass. The pacing of the animation allows it to be adaptable for middle school, high school, and college preparatory courses.

4. The Physical Setting

4D. The Structure of Matter
  • 6-8: 4D/M1a. All matter is made up of atoms, which are far too small to see directly through a microscope.

11. Common Themes

11B. Models
  • 6-8: 11B/M1. Models are often used to think about processes that happen too slowly, too quickly, or on too small a scale to observe directly. They are also used for processes that are too vast, too complex, or too dangerous to study.
11D. Scale
  • 6-8: 11D/M1. Some properties of an object depend on its length, some depend on its area, and some depend on its volume.
  • 6-8: 11D/M3. Natural phenomena often involve sizes, durations, and speeds that are extremely small or extremely large. These phenomena may be difficult to appreciate because they involve magnitudes far outside human experience.

12. Habits of Mind

12C. Manipulation and Observation
  • 6-8: 12C/M3. Make accurate measurements of length, volume, weight, elapsed time, rates, and temperature by using appropriate devices.
