length, weight, mass, volume, temperature, density, time, and so on is essential to understanding science. To find out more about unfamiliar objects, scientists often measure them using appropriate tools. Measuring is a skill that assumes knowledge of measuring instruments and systems and the ability to communicate the results of the measurements taken.
ordering of things by magnitude, such as area, length, volume, mass; processes to quantify observations; involves the use of instruments and the skills needed to use them effectively
