We also need to manipulate measurements in order to interpret them. Measurements & Fundamental Units ● Distance (meters) ● Mass (grams) ● Time (seconds) ● Temperature (Celsius or K) Measurements & Derived Units ● Volume (centimeters^3 or liters) ● Density (grams/liters) ● Energy (Joule) Making a measurement & significant digits Using a graduated cylinder to make a volume measurement Read from bottom of meniscus (ex: 9.51mL → 3 significant
