Name: ______________________________________ Date: ________________
Grade/Section: _______________________________ Score: _______________
Subject Area and Grade Level: Advanced Chemistry Grade 10/Quarter 1
Learning Competency (MELCs): Distinguish between direct and indirect methods of

measurement
Specific Objectives:
a. identify types of measured quantities and understand units commonly used in chemistry
b. identify the number of significant figures in a number that results from calculations
involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, division operations
c. express the results of mathematical operations with the proper significant figures,
rounding off where appropriate
d. convert a measurement in one metric unit into another related metric unit of without the
aid of any given formula
Subject Matter: Measurement

Subtopics: significant figures, scientific notation, conversion of units
Points to Remember
The study of chemistry or any other science for that matter is meaningless
without measurement. How can you judge the threat of a pollutant if you don’t know how
to express and interpret the numbers used in describing the intensity of pollution In
measurement you need units and you need to be consistent.
Chemistry like any other science follows the scientific method. During the
experimentation two types of data can be obtained- the quantitative data and the
qualitative data. The quantitative data pertain to the measured quantities with the
corresponding unit while qualitative data refer to physical observations using the senses
of touch, sight and smell. This chapter will cover the quantitative area of Chemistry. You
will learn how to handle numerical values, the appropriate units and the computations
involved in solving problems in chemistry.
