4. Why do we have to learn this? Standard: You will demonstrate an understanding of technological design and scientific inquiry, including process skills, mathematical thinking, controlled investigative design and analysis, and problem solving. School Goal, Math: Student’s math communication skills, reasoning, explaining, justifying will be mastered. Essential Question: Why do scientists use the metric system? Objectives: You will convert, apply, and arrange metric conversion units You will use, apply, and evaluate metric prefixes, and base units to labs You will apply unit factor analysis, scientific notation, and significant figures to metric calculations. You will apply the ladder method and division and multiplication by 10 to calculate and convert metric units.

5. The International System of Units If everyone is to understand what your measurements mean, you must agree on the units that will be used. By international agreement, a set of units called "The International System of Units" has been defined for scientific work. This system was adopted in 1960 by the General Conference on Weights and Measures. These units are also called metric units or SI units.

7. A long time ago in a faraway galaxy there lived a monarch who loved chocolate milk. His name was Henry, and he was known to all of his subjects as, King Henry!

8. Throughout his kingdom, King Henry made sure that all of the cows were fed great supplies of chocolate to continue to provide him with his beloved chocolate milk drink. He had very happy cows!

9. King Henry drank chocolate milk with his breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He even drank chocolate milk for his bedtime snack. King Henry drank chocolate milk by the liter!

10. King Henry wanted all living creatures in his kingdom to enjoy chocolate milk as much as he enjoyed chocolate milk. However, a liter was not the best serving size for every creature. The Royal Potter was called for and the command was given for new serving vessels to be created to fit every creature in the kingdom.

12. For the creatures smaller than the king, the Royal Potter designed Deciliters that were 1/10th the size of a liter, Centiliters that were 1/100th the size of a liter, and Milliliters that were 1/1000th the size of a liter. The milliliters were just right for the Royal Chocolate Beetles found in the kingdom.

13. For the creatures greater than the king, the Royal Potter designed, Dekaliters that were 10 times the size of a liter, Hectoliters that were 100 times the size of a liter, and Kiloliters that were 1000 times the size of a liter. The kiloliters were just right for the Royal Elephants of the kingdom.

14. The Royal Potter lined the vessels up in his workroom from largest to smallest to show the king. The king’s vessel was in the center of the line, for the king was the center of the kingdom. The vessels were arranged in the following order: kiloliter hectoliter dekaliter Liter deciliter centiliter milliliter

15. King Henry loved the new vessels that were designed larger and smaller than his own for all of the living creatures in his kingdom. The Royal Potter explained that the sizes increased and decreased from the king’s liter, the original unit of measurement, by multiples of ten. He explained how to convert between the sizes by multiplying by ten or dividing by ten. King Henry wondered how he would ever remember the order of the vessels.

16. The Royal Potter said that he remembered them by thinking of a saying. He said, “I remember the order by saying ‘King Henry Does Usually Drink Chocolate Milk’ and then I have no problem remembering the order.” “That is exactly right!” said King Henry. “Now I shall remember the sizes of the vessels!” He took another big drink of chocolate milk and …
