  1. The International (SI) System of Measurement

  2. The International System of Measurements (SI) • In 1960, the Eleventh General Conference on Weights and Measures was held in Paris.  They adopted a universal system of measurement units called Le Systeme International d'Unites (French), which is a revised version of the metric system.  • This International System, or SI, as it is commonly referred to, is used for commerce and Science around the world. 

  3. SI Base Units

  4. Derived Units

  5. Prefixes are used with the base units in order to increase or decrease the value that they represent.  All of the prefixes represent some factor of 10, and they can be used with any of the SI base units
