   UNIT GOAL: Students will understand and be able to read and use a ruler or
              tape to calculate problems involving length, area, volume, and
              weight. Students will know the difference between the U.S.
              Customary and the metric measurement systems.

   UNIT OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this unit, the students will be able to:
    
   1. Measure objects correctly with a ruler, tape, or framing square.
    
   2. Measure objects correctly, using calipers and micrometers.             
                                                                              
   3. Calculate and solve basic measurement problems, including calculation
      of board feet, cubic measurements, and standard liquid measurements.
    
   4. Differentiate between U.S. Customary and metric measurement units (in
      linear, area, and volumetric measurements).
    
   5. Calculate and solve basic measurement problems, including weight.
    
   6. Use various methods to determine the mass and volume of regularly and
      irregularly shaped objects.
