About Measurement and Units
GoConqr OriginalWhat the page covers
This unit sits in the Foundations of Physics strand of Physics. The listed resources begin with the basics: what a physical quantity is, and the difference between base and derived quantities. The mind map Physics: Measurement sets out those definitions, while Seven Fundamental Quantities and Units and Dimensions go further.
Where to start
Begin with the flashcards. Base Units + SI Units asks what a fundamental unit is and what the derived units for speed, velocity and acceleration are. The SI Metric Prefixes and Physics conversion factors then help with converting between sizes.
- Learn the base quantities and their SI units.
- Practise prefixes and conversions.
- Move on to reading instruments, such as rulers and micrometers.
- Finish with errors, uncertainties and significant figures.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first, then test yourself. S.I. Base Units Quiz checks the seven base units. AS Physics Quantities, Units, Measurements & Errors is more demanding and includes a scale-model question using the radii of the Earth and the Moon. IGCSE Coordinated Sciences Measurement & Practical Skillls includes ruler readings and wave experiments. If a question trips you up, go back to the matching map, such as Errors in Measurements or Measurements and Uncertainties.
Beyond units
The page also includes material on vectors, such as the General Physics - Vectors quiz, and on dimensional analysis. Teachers can pick slide sets like Tools to Measure Mass for class use, or hand out notes and quizzes as they are.
Your next step
Choose one resource that matches what you are working on today, open it and see how far you get. Then make a map or flashcard set of your own.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map Physics: Measurement, which defines physical quantities and separates base from derived ones. Then try the flashcards Base Units + SI Units. Once those feel familiar, take the S.I. Base Units Quiz to see which units you still mix up.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover quantities, units, SI prefixes and dimensions, along with making measurements, errors, uncertainties and vectors. Examples include Seven Fundamental Quantities, Units and Dimensions, Errors in Measurements and Vector Rules. There are over 230 mind maps on the page, so you can compare how different authors lay out the same idea.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so styles and depth vary. Have a quick look at a few before settling on one.
Which exams do these resources suit?
The listed resources mention A-level Physics, GCSE Physics, AS Physics, IB Physics and IGCSE Physics. Most of the material is aimed at school students at secondary level. Check the title and the first few questions to see whether a resource matches your course.
Can I use this page for teaching?
Yes. Teachers can use slide sets such as Tools to Measure Mass, quizzes on length and time, and notes on significant figures as ready-made material. With a free account you can also save quiz scores and make your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.
What if I can't find the topic I need?
Try a nearby heading first. Many topics sit under errors, uncertainties, prefixes or vectors, and some resources cover several at once. If nothing fits, build your own mind map or flashcard set on that topic.
