Recall…• 2 parts
• A number and a unit
• Units = what was measured
![Page 4: III. THE METRIC SYSTEM Recall 2 parts A number and a unit Units = what was measured](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082912/5a4d1bd77f8b9ab0599da9da/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A. The Metric System• Developed in France in 1795
• Revised in 1960• Le Système International d’Unités
• The International System of Units or “SI Units”
![Page 5: III. THE METRIC SYSTEM Recall 2 parts A number and a unit Units = what was measured](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082912/5a4d1bd77f8b9ab0599da9da/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
B. SI Base Units• Length (distance) :
• Mass :
• Volume :
• Time :
meter (m)
gram (g)
Liters (L)
second (s)
![Page 6: III. THE METRIC SYSTEM Recall 2 parts A number and a unit Units = what was measured](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082912/5a4d1bd77f8b9ab0599da9da/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Practice• What base unit would you choose to measure:
• 1. The length of a tree branch?
• 2.The volume of a soda bottle?
• 3. The mass of a chocolate bar?
~1.5 meters
2 liters
~450 grams

C. Metric Prefixes
•PREFIX + BASE UNIT = a metric unit• centi + meter = centimeter (cm)• kilo + gram = kilogram (kg)• milli + liter = milliliter (mL)
•Prefixes are based on powers of 10

D. Exponent Review•10x
• 10 = base• x = exponent; tells how many times 10 is multiplied by itself• 102 = 10 x 10 = 100
•10-x =
• 10-2 = = =
_1_ 10x
_1_ 102
_1_ 100
0.01

D. Exponent Review Cont.• If the exponent is POSITIVE , the number is larger than 1• 103 is 1000 (1 with 3 zeroes)• 105 is 100000 (1 with 5 zeroes)
• If the exponent is NEGATIVE, the number is less than 1• 10-3 is 0.001 (1 with 3 zeroes)• 10-5 is 0.00001 (1 with 5 zeroes)

Practice
What is the prefix?
1. µ2. m3. h4. c
5. da6. k7. d8. M
![Page 13: III. THE METRIC SYSTEM Recall 2 parts A number and a unit Units = what was measured](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082912/5a4d1bd77f8b9ab0599da9da/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
F. Metric Conversions (Math/AP way)• Step 1: Identify powers of 10 for each prefix
• Base unit with no prefix = 100
• Step 2: subtract the exponents…move the decimal that many places• A POSITIVE difference = move decimal to the right• A NEGATIVE difference = move decimal to the left
• Example: 1.6 liters = _______ milliliters
L: 100 mL: 10-3
Subtract exponents: 0 – (-3) = +3 Move decimal 3 places to the right
1600
