Each measurement has an amount, a unit for comparison, and an uncertainty. Measurements can be represented in either decimal or scientific notation. Scientists primarily use the SI (International System) or metric systems. We use base SI units such as meters, seconds, and kilograms, as well as derived units, such as liters (for volume) and g/cm3 (for density).

Figure \PageIndex1: (Left) A typical water bottle is 1 liter in volume. (Middle) This Rubik's cube is 5.7cm on each side and has a volume of 185.2cm3 or 185.2mL. (Right) A graduated cylinder is often used to measure volume in the laboratory, and comes in a variety of sizes.

It highlights the challenges of the English measurement system for scientific purposes, leading to the adoption of the metric system in 1795 and the International System of Units (SI) established in 1960. Although the U.S. has legally adopted the metric system, it predominantly uses the imperial system.
