Metric Units and Conversions CLE.3231.Math.1 Graph relationships and functions between manipulated (independent) variables and responding (dependent) variables.CLE.3231.Math.2 Solve for variables in an algebraic formula.

What is a Unit Conversion? A unit conversion is a changing of one unit to another. Unit Examples: meters grams inches feet pounds seconds Any time you write down a number in physics, you should have a unit written after it!!! CLE.3231.Math.1 Graph relationships and functions between manipulated (independent) variables and responding (dependent) variables.CLE.3231.Math.2 Solve for variables in an algebraic formula.

What is a Metric Unit? Metric units are the universally excepted units around the world (except for the US). They are the easiest to convert. Metric Unit Examples: meters liters grams Base Units – all other metric units are based off of these (km, cm, ml, kg) CLE.3231.Math.1 Graph relationships and functions between manipulated (independent) variables and responding (dependent) variables. CLE.3231.Math.2 Solve for variables in an algebraic formula.

Common Metric Units (Prefixes) Abbreviation Mega- M kilo- k hecto- h deka- da or D Base- m, l, g deci- d centi- c milli- m micro- µ nano- n CLE.3231.Math.1 Graph relationships and functions between manipulated (independent) variables and responding (dependent) variables.CLE.3231.Math.2 Solve for variables in an algebraic formula.

Metric Conversion Factors 1 km= 1000 m 100 cm= 1 m 1000 mm = 1 m 10 mm = 1 cm Knowing these conversion factors makes calculating conversions easy! These also work for liters and grams. Just replace the base unit (m) with a (g) or (l). CLE.3231.Math.1 Graph relationships and functions between manipulated (independent) variables and responding (dependent) variables.CLE.3231.Math.2 Solve for variables in an algebraic formula.

Conversion Factor Cards Each group has a set of cards with common conversion factors on them that you will be using for the next two days. Front Back CLE.3231.Math.1 Graph relationships and functions between manipulated (independent) variables and responding (dependent) variables.CLE.3231.Math.2 Solve for variables in an algebraic formula.

Dimensional Analysis A mathematical way to convert one unit to another. This works for metric units and non-metric (English) units. This works by taking the unit you are given and multiplying it by a conversion factor. CLE.3231.Math.1 Graph relationships and functions between manipulated (independent) variables and responding (dependent) variables.CLE.3231.Math.2 Solve for variables in an algebraic formula.

Example 1: Convert 3m to cm For meters to cancel out, meters in the conversion factor must be on the opposite side of the fraction (fence). 3m 100 cm 1m Given Conversion Factor Multiply every number on top of the fence and divide by the bottom.
