During this Unit, students will perform activities and conduct experiments focused on measuring and quantifying properties of objects.
Through explorations of height, length, width, volume, and weight, students learn that certain properties can be described by number, and that the number is further
described by a unit of measure. Students become familiar with using units such as centimeters, meters, milliliters, and grams. These experiments guide students to conclude that units of measure are vital in describing an object’s properties.
