  1. Metric System Conversion table • 1,000,000,000 = 1 Gm (Gigameter) • 1,000,000m = 1Mm (Megameter) • 1,000m = 1Km (Kilometer) • 1m = 1m meter • 1m = 10dm (decimeter) • 1m = 100cm(centimeter) • 1m = 1000mm (millimeter) • 1m = 1,000,000um (micrometer) • 1m = 1,000,000,000nm (nanometer

  2. Gigameter • Gigameter Bill Gates Giganaire

  3. Megameter • 10^6 meters = 1,000 kilometers = 1 megameter The Northeast Pacific

  4. Kilometer

  5. Meter

  6. Metric System • Centimeter

  7. Millimeter • Millimeter

  8. Micrometer Micrometer

  9. nanometer • How small is a nanometer? • Or think of a person that’s 6 feet tall (1,830,000,000 nanometers). A hair from that person’s head is around 50,000 nanometers wide: if you could split that hair into 50,000 separate strands, each would be a nanometer wide. A molecule of DNA is only 2.5 nanometers wide.

  10. Conversions • 400m = ______ cm • Step 1---- larger to smaller ****** (multiply – right) 400m x 100cm = 40,000cm 1 1m

  11. Conversions • 20 cm = ______ m • Step1------ SMALLER TO LARGER **** (DIVIDE) (left) LARGER TO SMALLER (MULTIPLY) (right) 20CM X 1m = .20m 1 X 100cm

  12. 1.8 m= _______ mm • 6.4 m =_______ cm • 15,000 m = _______ km
