  1. TOPIC: MeasurementAIM: How is the metric system used to make measurements?

  2. What is a unit? A known amount of measurement Yard, mile, meter, pound, gram, liter

  3. Systems of measurement 1. METRIC SYSTEM Used by most of the world SI = Systems International

  4. 2. ENGLISH SYSTEM • inch, foot, yard, pound

  5. SI Units

  6. 1. LENGTH METER (m)

  7. 1 m = 100 centimeters (cm) 1 cm = 1/100 m = 0.01m

  8. 1cm = 10 millimeters 1m = 1000 millimeters

  9. 1 mm = width of a dime

  10. 1 kilometer (km) = 1000m 1m = 1/1000 km =0.001m

  11. MASS Amount of matter an object has GRAM (g or gm)

  12. 1 kilogram (kg) = 1000gm

  13. Volume Amount of space an object takes up LITER (L)

  14. 1000 milliliters (mL) = 1 L

  15. PREFIX Comes before the unit

  16. Kilo = x 1000 1 kilometer (km) = 1000m 1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 gm 1 kiloliter (kl) = 1000 L

  17. Centi = 1/100 = 0.01 1 cm = 0.01 m 1 cg = 0.01 gm

  18. Milli = 1/1000 = 0.001 1 mm = 0.001 1 mL = 1/1000 L

  19. CONVERSIONS • EXAMPLES • 1. 100 mm = ? cm Move 1 to the left 100 mm = 10cm 2. 34 km = ? m Move 3 to the right 34 km = 34,000 m 3. 257 cm = ? hm Move 4 to the left 257 cm = 0.0257 hm
