technology   the practical use of scientific information: the use of tools, machines, materials and processes to meet human needs  
🗑
compound light microscope   an instrument that magnifies small objects so that they can be seen easily by two or more lenses; items are placed on the stage so light passes through them  
🗑
electron microscope   microscopes that focus a beam of electrons to magnify objects; TEM and SEM  
🗑
area   the measure of the size of a surface; A=lxw and the answer is always written in square units  
🗑
volume   the measure of the size of a 3 dimensional space; v=l x w x h and is written in units cubed  
🗑
mass   the measure of the amount of matter in an object

🗑
why is it important to use the international system of units   so we can share information with other countries and observation and results
