Class 8th Answer

The document is a science lesson about measurement for 8th standard students. It covers key concepts in measurement including: 1) The different systems of units including SI, FPS, CGS, and MKS. SI units include meters for length, kilograms for mass, seconds for time, and more. 2) Base quantities that are directly measurable like length, mass, time along with their SI units. Derived quantities are determined from base quantities. 3) Key terms and concepts in measurement like accuracy, precision, errors, temperature, electric current, luminous intensity, and amount of substance. 4) Sample questions are provided to test understanding of measurement systems, units, and definitions of scientific
