Play ball using your knowledge of radiation quantities and units.

Students are introduced to the nano-size length scale as they make measurements and calculate unit conversions. They measure common objects and convert their units to nanometers, giving them a simple reference frame for understanding the...

As part of the General Chemistry Virtual Textbook, this site examines a variety of topics related to the measure of matter. In addition to a discussion on SI base units, the site covers the SI decimal prefixes, units outside the SI, and...

September 24, 1902. A new cooking school is set to open at Boston's 30 Huntington Avenue. The rooms will soon be filled with trainee cooks, who will watch in awe as the school's namesake and principal, Fannie Farmer, lectures on...

This activity assesses students' knowledge and understanding of uncertainty and significant figures.

Using inquiry-based learning, students work in groups to devise metric conversion factors after analyzing example calculations. By finding inaccuracies in the problems given, students zero in on the correct methods of doing conversions.

This page offers a summary of each section in Chapter 1: Introduction to Physics of the AP Physics online text. It covers the main concepts such as Physical Quantities and Units and Approximation.

This resource provides information on weights and measures, including unit conversion tables.

This lesson will introduce standard units of measure (meters, grams, liters) and the physical properties they represent. It is 5 of 6 in the series titled "Metric Standard Units of Measure (SI Units)."

Students determine the coefficient of restitution (or the elasticity) for super balls. Working in pairs, they drop balls from a meter height and determine how high they bounce. They measure, record and repeat the process to gather data...

This site provides a list of physics problems and exercises including Physical Quantities and Units, Accuracy, Precision, and Significant Figures, and Approximation.
