Review conversions between SI (Metric) units and learn how to read a Vernier caliper. You will also be doing some math calculations using 2 dimensional geometric shapes and using referrents to estimate the lengths of objects.
Objectives: After today's lesson, you should be able to:
- Choose an appropriate SI (Metric) unit to measure a distance
- Use a referrent to measure approximate length
- Read a Metric Vernier Caliper
- Use conversion factors to convert units
Resources:
- Vernier Caliper Simulation
- Another Vernier Caliper Simulation with .05cm accuracy
- Vernier Caliper Worksheet
- Completed Notes
