Units+of+mass,+weight,+and+capacity

Units of weight, length, mass and capacity For this project you will use one of the following three creation tools listed below to show a representation of units of weight, length, or capacity. You can do this representation in many different ways. Some examples include, but are not limited to: 1. Comparing objects with different measurements in the same units (ex: comparing 1 meter with 1 millimeter and 1 centimeter) 2. Converting in the same units (ex: converting millimeters into meters) For this project, I want you to use your creativity. You will need to convert or compare at least 3 measurements Keep in mind about the different units we learned in class. We learned about customary units and metric units. Customary Units of Length (inches, feet, yards, and miles) Customary Units of Capacity (ounces, cups, pints, quarts, gallons) Customary Units of Weight (ounces, pounds, tons) Metric Units of Length (kilometers, meters, centimeters, millimeters) Metric Units of Capacity(liters, milliliters) Metric Units of Mass (kilograms, grams, milligrams)

Creation Tools (Examples are below) [|SketchUp] SketchUp is a great tool to use to make comparisons. As you can see in my example below, I drew a cube that was 1 meter cubed. I then drew a cube that was 1 centimeter cubed and one that was 1 millimeter cubed. I used the three cubes to compare the difference between meters, centimeters, and millimeters. All three of these measurements are metric units. [|iMovie] iMovie- Using iMovie you can use music, pictures, and video clips to show converting or comparing measurement. My example shows that a gallon is equal to 4 quarts and that a gallon is also equal to 16 cups. You can then share your video on your youtube account. I've made a link to a youtube video tutorial about iMovie. [|Voki] Voki can be used to both compare and contrast measurement. Voki allows you to create a character and background. You can then upload a voice to your character or the character to say whatever you type into the program. [|Rubric] [|Entry Event] [|Voki Example] [|iMovie Example] SketchUp Example (Below)
