Unit 2-2 Metric Conversions! Mr. Coffey

Systems of Measurement The English system is used in the United States. The units used are gallons, pounds, and feet. There are no standards in nature for these units. The rest of the world uses another measurement system: the metric system.

The Metric System The metric system is based on multiples of 10 (such as 100 and 1,000). Scientists all over the world use metric units. This allows them to share scientific knowledge even when they speak different languages. There is an International System of Units called the SI Units: meter, liter, and gram.

SI Units: Length The basic unit of length in science is called the meter (m). A metric ruler is a ruler that scientists use to measure length.

Metric Ruler Used to measure length (meters) Metric Units = GOOD! English = BAD

SI Units: Volume The basic unit of volume to measure gasses and liquids is called the liter (l). A graduated cylinder is a tool scientists use to measure liquid volume.

SI Units: Mass The basic unit of mass in science is called the gram (g). A triple beam balance is a tool scientists use to measure mass.

SI Units Measurement Unit Symbol Length Meter m Mass Gram g Volume Standard International Units (SI) are units that are used for consistency all around the world. Measurement Unit Symbol Length Meter m Mass Gram g Volume Liter L Time Second sec Temperature Celsius °C

Prefix Symbol Equivalent Prefixes help to make measurement of lengths, volumes, and mass more accurate by making the root measurements (m, l, g) bigger or smaller. Prefix Symbol Equivalent Kilo K 1,000 Hecto H 100 Deka Da   10 Deci d .1 Centi c .01 Milli m .001 .1 = 1/10 .01 = 1/100 .001 = 1/1000

Let’s do an example!  Kilometer km 1.6 km = 1 mile Hectometer hm Prefix Symbol Comparison Kilometer km 1.6 km = 1 mile Hectometer hm 1 hm is the length of 2.5 planes Dekameter dam 1 dam is the size of a schoolbus Decimeter dm 1 dm is the size of a scotch tape dispenser Centimeter cm 2.5 cm is the diameter of a quarter Millimeter mm 1 mm is the thickness of a dime

Using Steps

Understanding Unit Conversions King Henry Doesn’t (usually) Drink Chocolate Milk K H D unit d c m Kilo Hecto Deka deci centi milli 1000 100 10 0.1 0.01 0.001 grams (g) liters (l) meters (m) The difference between each unit is one decimal place, or 10. As you go from larger units to smaller units, move the decimal place to the right. As you go from smaller units to larger units, move the decimal place to the left.

Using a CHART: Used to measure bigger things!! Used to measure smaller things!! Kilo Hecto Deka m/l/g deci centi milli - Moving to the right is like multiplying. - Moving to the left is like dividing. - Your number will get SMALLER (become a decimal) -Your number will get BIGGER! You will move your decimal point in the same direction that you moved on the chart!

How we do it….. Kilo Hecto Deka m/l/g deci centi milli 2.345 Convert: 23.45 mm to ______________ cm Kilo Hecto Deka m/l/g deci centi milli

Now Try These…. 1) 1000 mg = _______ g 2) 1 L = _______ mL 3) 160 cm = _______ mm 4) 14 km = _______ m 5) 109 g = _______ hg 6) 250 m = _______ km 7) 6 L = _______ mL

Now Try These…. 1.0 1) 1000 mg = _______ g 1,000.0 2) 1 L = _______ mL 1,600.0 3) 160 cm = _______ mm 14,000.0 4) 14 km = _______ m 1.09 5) 109 g = _______ hg 6) 250 m = _______ km 0.250 7) 6 L = _______ mL 6,000.0
