Laboratory Techniques and Measurements
(adapted from Labpaq Version 09.1.06 by Peter Jeschofnig, Ph.D.)
Experiment Summary
You will have the opportunity to learn how to conduct measurements in mass, volume, and density using scales and common laboratory equipment.
Review the safety materials and wear goggles when working with chemicals. Read the entire exercise before you begin. Take time to organize the materials you will need and set aside a safe workspace in which to complete the exercise.
Objectives

Discussion and Review
In this experiment you will learn the techniques for using several pieces of laboratory equipment and become familiar with the units of measurement most frequently used in laboratory work. The metric system, which includes meters, liters, Celsius, and grams, is the most common set of measurements used in science.
The International System of Units or SI from the French
Système international d'unités is a modern form of the metric system based on units of ten. This system has been adopted throughout the world with the exception of the United States,
Liberia, and Burma (Myanmar).
