The Metric System
SI (System International)
Metric System•Used by every country in the
world, except the USA.
•Always used by scientists.
•Based on the number 10, so it’s easy!
Measuring Length
•Length= the distance between 2 points.
•Base unit= meter (m)
•Use rulers and meter sticks to measure
Problems: We need more accuracy
o We can’t measure everything with just base units
o We need prefixes!
Metric Units
The basic unit of length in the metric system in the meter and is represented by a lowercase m.
Metric Units
1 Kilometer (km) = 1000 meters
1 Meter = 100 Centimeters (cm)
1 Meter = 1000 Millimeters (mm)
Metric Units
1 Kilometer (km) = 1000 meters
1 Meter = 100 Centimeters (cm)
1 Meter = 1000 Millimeters (mm)
Which is larger?
A. 1 meter or 105 centimeters
B. 4 kilometers or 4400 meters
C. 120 centimeters or 120 millimeters
D. 1200 millimeters or 1 meter

Measuring TemperatureMeasuring Temperature• Temperature is the
measure of the average heat energy
• Base unit= degree Celcius (°C)
• 0°C= freezing, 100°C boiling
• Use thermometers to measure.
Find the temperature of each thermometer
A ECB D
19 °C 4 °C 5 °C 44 °C 22 °C
Measuring Mass
• Mass is the amount of matter (stuff) in an object.
• Base unit = gram (g)• Use scales to measure.
Metric Units Of Mass
1 Kilogram (km) = 1000 Grams (g)
1 Gram (g) = 1000 Milligrams (mg)
Which is larger?
A. 1 kilogram or 1500 grams
B. 1200 milligrams or 1 gram
C. 12 milligrams or 12 kilograms
D. 4 kilograms or 4500 grams
Reading a Triple Beam Balance
• Volume is the amount of space an object takes up.
• Base unit= Liter (L)• Use a beaker or
graduated cylinder to measure.
Measuring Volume
Metric Units
1 liter (L) = 100 centiliters (cL)1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters
(mL)1 kiloliter (kL) = 1000 liters (L)
Measuring Volume

We will be using graduated cylinders to find the volume of liquids and other objects.
Read the measurement based on the bottom of the meniscus or curve. When using a real cylinder, make sure you are eye-level with the level of the water.
What is the volume of water in the cylinder? _____mL
