Metric System
The metric system is the standard system of measurement in much of the world and is also used in the sciences in the United States.
Mass is measured in grams. Length is measured in meters. Volume is measured in liters. Temperature is measured in
°Celsius
Metric System
Larger and smaller units of mass, length, and volume are calculated in units of 10 and use the same prefixes. Kilometer (km) 1000 meters Meter (m) Centimeter (cm) 0.01 meter
100 cm make 1 m Millimeter (mm) 0.001 meter
1000 mm make 1 m, 10 mm make 1 cm Micrometer (µm) 0.000001 meter
1000 µm make 1 mm
Metric System
Goals for today: Become familiar with meters, liters,
grams, and °C. Practice making conversions.
Metric System
