Book excerpt: "This book is for you, and every text feature is meant to help you learn and succeed in your chemistry course. I wrote this book with two main goals for you in mind: to see chemistry as you never have before and to develop the problem-solving skills you need to succeed in chemistry. I want you to experience chemistry in a new way. I have written each chapter to show you that chemistry is not just something that happens in a laboratory; chemistry surrounds you at every moment. Several outstanding artists have helped me to develop photographs and art that will help you visualize the molecular world. From the opening example to the closing chapter, you will see chemistry. My hope is that when you finish this course, you will think differently about your world because you understand the molecular interactions that underlie everything around you. My second goal is for you to develop problem-solving skills. No one succeeds in chemistry-or in life, really-without the ability to solve problems. I can't give you a one-size-fits-all formula for problem solving, but I can and do give you strategies that will help you develop the chemical intuition you need to understand chemical reasoning"--

Download or read book Measurement Unit Conversions Workbook written by Maria Miller and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-12 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The workbook Measurement Unit Conversions contains lessons and exercises suitable for grades 5-7. First, we study how the basic concept of decimal numbers can help us convert measuring units. For example, since 0.01 means one-hundredth, then 0.01 m means one-hundredth of a meter -- which is the definition of a centimeter. Then we round and estimate quantities given in various measurement units, and find the error of estimation. After that, we focus on the metric system and conversions between the metric units of measurement. I have tried to emphasize sensible and intuitive methods for converting measuring units within the metric system, instead of relying on mechanical formulas. Next, we practice conversions between units in the customary system, using the basic conversion factors and multiplication and division. Then from there we advance to conversions between customary and metric measuring units. Later, students learn how rates can be used to convert measurement units. This method is inaddition to the methods for converting measurement units that were explained earlier in the workbook. It does not mean that students should "change over" and forget what they learned earlier - it is simply a different method for doing the conversions. Some students may choose one method over another; some may be able to master all of the methods. Most will probably choose one method they prefer for doing these conversions. Next, the lesson on maps gives a different real-world context for measurement units and conversions between them, since calculating the real distances from map distances or vice versa involves both using a scale ratio and conversion of the measurement unit used. Lastly, the lesson Significant Digits deals with the concept of the accuracy of a measurement and how it limits the accuracy of the solution. Significant digits is not a standard topic for middle school, yet the concept in it is quite important, especially in science. You can consider this topic as optional or reserve it for advanced students.
Download or read book Encyclopaedia of Scientific Units Weights and Measures written by François Cardarelli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 869 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mankind has a fascination with measurement. Down the centuries we have produced a plethora of incompatible and duplicatory systems for measuring everything from the width of an Egyptian pyramid to the concentration of radioactivity near a nuclear reactor and the value of the fine structure constant. With the introduction first of the metric system and of its successor the Système International d'Unités (SI), the scientific community has established a standard method of measurement based on only seven core units. The Encyclopaedia of Scientific Units, Weights and Measures converts the huge variety of units from all over the world in every period of recorded history into units of the SI. Featuring: - An A - Z of conversion tables for over 10,000 units of measurements. - Tables of the fundamental constants of nature with their units. - Listings of professional societies, and national standardization bodies for easy reference. - An extensive bibliography detailing further reading on the multifarious aspects of measurement and its units. This huge work is simply a "must have" for any reference library frequented by scientists of any discipline or by those with historical interests in units of measurement such as archaeologists.

Download or read book Metric Conversion Guide written by James N. Brown and published by . This book was released on 2004-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The general purpose of this handbook is to prepare scientists, engineers, and technicians of the U.S. Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command (DARCOM) for increasing use of the International Systems of Units (SI) or, as it is frequently referred to, the "metric system." The specific objectives are to give DARCOM personnel (1) the tools required to convert the units of physical quantities and equations to SI units, (2) the information needed to correctly interpret specifications and documentation using the SI, and (3) the information needed to generate specifications and prepared documentation in SI units. Chapter 1 presents a paragraph outline of the handbook to facilitate its use, and a brief history of the introduction of and increasing use of the SI in the US. Definitions, rules, and conventions fundamental to the SI and its use are to be found in Chapters 2 and 3. Methods for converting non-SI units to SI units are given in Chapter 4. The methods make use of "unit equalities" and, if applied rigorously, will minimize or eliminate errors in unit conversions. A relatively simple method is presented for modifying equations such that equations derived for use with non-SI units can be used with SI units. Tables of unit equalities, experimentally determined constants expressed in SI units, and dimensionless quantities are given in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 is concerned with the use of SI in military engineering drawings, and covers dual dimensioning and conversion of the units of dimensions. Sample calculations illustrating methods of converting units and modifying equations are given in Chapter 7.

Department of Commerce and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2014-10-09 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1988 Congress designated the International System of Units (SI), the metric system, as the preferred system of measurement for use in trade and commerce (15 U.S.C. §205 – 267). This publication provides guidance on the use of the International System of Units (SI) to ensure uniformity with the weights and measures usage in the commercial measurement system and in other applications. Government and industry use metric units for procurements, grants and other business-related activities, for educational information, and for guidance in publications. The practical guidance in this publication may be used for, but is not limited to, the drafting of laws, regulations, contracts, product specifications, purchase orders, and the preparation of public information, reports and brochures, correspondence, statistical tables, databases, and maps. In addition to serving as an authoritative document for the conversion of customary (inch-pound) units to metric, this publication also explains the relationship between metric units and inch-pound units.
