KHdKBDCM | Kids have dreamed big dreams converting metrics |
perimeter | distance around an object |
formula for perimeter | P= s+s+s+s |
area | measure of space of a flat surface |
formula for area | l x w or b x h |
label for area | units squared, cm squared or mm squared |
volume | amount of space inside an object |
formula for volume | l x w x h or b x w x h |
label for volume of a solid object | cm cubed |
liquid volume | measured with a graduated cylinder |
label for liquid volume | ml or cc |
Rules for measuring liquid volume | measure on flat surface at eye level and read at bottom of meniscus |
meniscus | curve formed by water adhering (sticking) to the sides of the graduated cylinder |
graduated cylinders are named by | how much it can hold |
