SI Measurement Stations

Your team is checking measurements at a pop-up science lab. Complete each station task using SI units, suitable equipment and careful measurement habits. Show working for conversions.

Station 1: Length and distance

Use metres (m) for the SI base unit of length. Remember: 1 m = 100 cm and 1 km = 1,000 m.

1.A paper bridge is 0.86 m long. How many centimetres long is it?
2.A walking track is 1.35 km long. Write this distance in metres.
0250500750100012501500

Station 2: Mass and volume

The SI base unit for mass is the kilogram (kg). A balance measures mass; a measuring cylinder is used to measure liquid volume.

3.A sample has a mass of 0.72 kg. What is its mass in grams?
4.A measuring cylinder contains 48 mL of water. A stone is lowered in, and the water level rises to 63 mL. What is the stone’s volume?
5.A bottle holds 1.25 L. Convert this volume to millilitres.

Station 3: Time, temperature and precision

Record time in seconds (s). In most school laboratory work, temperature is recorded in degrees Celsius (°C); the SI base unit for thermodynamic temperature is the kelvin (K).

6.A reaction takes 2 minutes 15 seconds. Record the total time in seconds.

7.A thermometer reading is 21.6. Name the measured quantity and give the unit and symbol that should be used for this reading in a school laboratory.
8.Two students measure the same liquid. One reads the cylinder from above the water surface; the other places their eyes level with the bottom of the meniscus. Who is more likely to get an accurate reading, and why?
9.At the equipment station, match each measurement task with the best instrument: length of a bench; mass of a rock; volume of 30 mL of water; temperature of warm water.
  • Length of a bench
  • Mass of a rock
  • Volume of 30 mL of water
  • Temperature of warm water
  • Electronic balance
  • Thermometer
  • Measuring cylinder
  • Ruler or metre rule
10.A student records the mass of the same object as 84.2 g, 84.1 g and 84.2 g. Calculate the mean mass to one decimal place.
11.Before measuring the volume of a liquid, name two steps that help make the reading reliable.
