  1. Metric Notes Metric System- Scientific System of Measurement

  2. BASIC UNITS OF THE METRIC SYSTEM • The meter(m)is the base unit of length. • The gram(g)is the base unit of mass. • The liter (L)is the base unit of volume.

  3. Prefixes

  4. Converting Units To convert from one unit to another is like following directions on a map. Which way? Left or Right?

  5. Going Left??? When going from a smaller unit to a larger unit, you move Left on the map and the decimal moves to the LEFT . However, the actual number decreases.

  6. Going Right??? When going from a larger unit to a smaller unit, you move RIGHT on the map and the decimal moves to the RIGHT . However, the actual number increases.

  7. Let’s take a look!!!

  8. King Henry Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk Kilo Deka Basic Unit Deci Centi Milli Hecto Liters Meters Grams

  9. Practice Time 4.5 m = ? cm

  10. What to do first in the problem 4.5 m = __ cm ? Start at Meters and move to the Right to Centimeters. Decimal place moves to the RIGHT two spaces. . . . Kilo Hecto Deka Basic Unit Deci Centi Milli 4.5

  11. As you move the decimal you will need to add zeros. . 4 . 5 0

  12. Is this your Final Answer? 4.5 m = 450 cm

  13. Let’s do another one! 6.6 liters = _____ mL

  14. What to do first in the problem 6.6 L = __ mL ? Start at Liters and move to the Right to Millileters. Decimal place moves to the RIGHT three spaces. . . . . Kilo Hecto Deka Basic Unit Deci Centi Milli 6.6

  15. Check your answer! 6.6 liters = 6,600 mL

  16. Let’s Go the Other Way! 3,580 mm = _______ m?

  17. Let’s move to the left this time. 3,580mm = ___________m? Start at Millimeters and move to the Left to Meters. Decimal place moves to the LEFT three spaces. . . . . Kilo Hecto Deka Basic Unit Deci Centi Milli 3 5 8 0

  18. Check your answer: 3,580mm = 3.58m

  19. Quiz Time • 28 cm = ? mm • 438 cm = ? m • 72 g = ? mg • 202 g = ? kg • 2L = ? mL

  20. How did We do?? 1. 28 cm = 280 mm 4.38 m 2. 438 cm = 3. 72 g = 72,000 mg 4. 202 g = 0.202 kg 5. 2 L = 2,000 mL

  21. We Are Done Yeah!!! Yeah!!!
