13. International System of Measurement System International or SI
The Metric System
SI is used by nearly all nations of the world.  All scientists use the metric system as a standard for comparing data and recording research findings. Nearly all medicines are measured in metrics.
International System of Measurement, or SI, is the metric system.  It is based on units of 10.
Only countries not using metric:
Liberia, Myanmar and America

14. Metric vs. Imperial Divisible by 10 Is written as a decimal
1mL = 1cm3 = 1g water
Divisible by 3, 8, 16, 36 …..
Is written as a fraction will many denominators.
No relationship between length, volume and mass.

15. Liters is uppercase L so that it cannot be mistaken for a #1

16. What are Metric Conversions?
Sometimes we need to change from one size measurement to another.
This is usually done because the prefix that is used is either too big or too small for that type of measurement.

17. Sometimes the number is too big for the prefix being used.
525,568 millimeters
Sometimes the number is too big for the prefix being used.

18. Sometimes the number is too small for the prefix being used.km
Sometimes the number is too small for the prefix being used.

19. How Do We Fix This Problem?
We can correct these problems by doing a process called Metric Conversion. When you do a Metric Conversion, you are changing from one prefix of another. The unit does not change.

20. So How Do I Do A Metric Conversion?
We will be using a method called The Stair-step Method of Metric Conversion.
It requires two things; one, that you be able to count to 6, and two, that you know your left from your right.

21. King Henry Died Unexpectedly Drinking Chocolate Milk+ =

22. How Do I Use This?
The first letter of the prefix in the unit of measurement tells you which step to start on.
The first letter in the second unit of measurement tells you which step to stop on.
Find which step to start on, and count the number of steps it takes to get to the step that you need to stop on.

23. How Do I Use This?
If you went to the right(downstairs) the decimal in the first measurement moves that many places to the right.
If you went to the left (upstairs) then the decimal moves to the left. Fill any empty places with zeros.

24. How Do I Use This (cont.)?
If there is only one letter in the unit of measurement, then you start or stop on the base unit step. Now let’s look at our examples…..

25. 2.3m= ? Km

26. 2.3m= ? mm

27. Be able to count up to six and know your left from your right.
Hey! This Is Easy!
You bet it’s easy! Like we said on the first slide…..
Be able to count up to six and know your left from your right.
Now, get your stair-step sheet and your practice problems and do some more conversions!
