  1. What is the mass shown on the balance below? Tuesday, August 21Warm-Up A: 501 grams

  2. MYP Unit Question:Why Science? Area of Interaction:Approaches to Learning Learner Profile:Inquirer Standard:Use tools and instruments for observing, measuring and manipulating equipment and materials in scientific activities. Learning Target:Today I’m learning about metric units because I will use them for scientific investigations

  3. Opening: Intro to Metrics Work Session: Notes: Metric System Measurement Activity

  4. Why use the Systeme International (SI)? It’s a standard system of measurement that allows scientists to compare data and communicate with other scientists all over the world.

  5. Scientists all over the world use the International System of Units to measure: • Length • Volume • Mass • Density • Temperature • Time

  6. The basic unit of length in the SI system is the … meter M D D H C K M Meter 1 Deka- Deci- 10 .01 Hecto- Centi- 100 .001 Kilo- Milli- 1000 .0001 King Henry Died Monday Drinking Chocolate Milk

  7. Use the stair step to convert Example: 10 K = ? M 10 K = 10,000 M Determine the direction to move Count the number of steps Add “0” for every step you move 3 M D D H C K M Meter 1 Deka- Deci- 10 .01 Hecto- Centi- 100 .001 Kilo- Milli- 1000 .0001 King Henry Died Monday Drinking Chocolate Milk

  8. 3 = .1 100 mm = ? M 24 cm = ?hm 4 = .01 M D D H C K M Meter 1 Deka- Deci- 10 .01 Hecto- Centi- 100 .001 Kilo- Milli- 1000 .0001 King Henry Died Monday Drinking Chocolate Milk

  9. How to read a metric ruler The longer lines on the metric ruler are called… • centimeters

  10. The shorter lines on the metric ruler are called… • millimeters

  11. One centimeter is divided into how many millimeters? • 10 millimeters (mm)

  12. Measure the turtle from the rear of its shell to the tip of its nose. Record its length in both centimeters and millimeters. • 10.5 cm • 105 mm

  13. 1 centimeter = 10 millimeters What is the length of the line in centimeters? _______cm What is the length of the line in millimeters? _______mm What is the length of the line to the nearest centimeter? ________cm HINT: Round to the nearest centimeter – no decimals. Measuring Length How many millimeters are in 1 centimeter? Ruler: http://www.k12math.com/math-concepts/measurement/ruler-cm.jpg

  14. 1 mile 1.6 kilometers 1 yard = 0.9444 meters 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters Closing: English vs. Metric Units Which is longer? A. 1 mile or 1 kilometer B. 1 yard or 1 meter C. 1 inch or 1 centimeter Left Image: http://webapps.lsa.umich.edu/physics/demolab/controls/imagedemosm.aspx?picid=1167Right Image: http://share.lancealan.com/N800%20ruler.jpg

  15. Find the length (antennae to feet) of the following insects to the nearest whole or half cm: 3.5 cm 2 cm WARM-UP Wed., Aug. 22 4.5 cm 5 cm

  16. MYP Unit Question:Why Science? Area of Interaction:Approaches to Learning Learner Profile:Inquirer Standard:Use tools and instruments for observing, measuring and manipulating equipment and materials in scientific activities. Learning Target:Today I’m learning about metric units because I will use them for scientific investigations
