    A customary unit of length

  • pint -

    A customary unit of capacity; 2 cups or 16 ounces

  • tool -

    An object used to measure

  • quarter hour -

    A unit of time equal to 15 minutes

  • ounces -

    A customary unit of weight

  • quart -

    A customary unit of capacity; 2 pints or 4 cups or 32 ounces

  • length -

    Distance from end to end

  • weight -

    Measure that represents the force that attracts an object to the center of Earth which becomes the heaviness of an object (as measured on the earth) ***(In grade 3 it is appropriate to discuss the difference between mass and weight. For example, on the moon, a grown male human and an elephant will have the same weight; however there is a difference in the amount of consumed mass the elephant has versus the human man.)

  • milliliter -

    A metric unit of capacity

  • mass -

    Measure of how much matter is in an object

  • yard stick -

    Tool used to measure length or width (equal to 3 feet or 36 inches)
