  1. Metric System

  2. Why learn this? Metrics in your Every Day Life

  3. MetricSystem Jobs: Auto Industry Medicine Military Eduction Food Industry Distance Used World Wide Meters Meter Stick Cost to Convert Volume (capacity) Liters Beaker Graduated Cylinder Temperature Mass Degrees Celcius Thermometer Grams TBB

  4. MEASUREMENT ENGLISH METRIC How Alike? * Both measuring Systems * Measure Accurately * Use Tools and Units to measure * Used in many Jobs * Can measure from very small to very large things (Length, width, height, mass, volume, density, temperature) How Different? * Fractions and Decimals * Used only in USA * Only Decimals * Used Worldwide (not in USA) * Tool types used * Unit types used

  5. Distance The space between 2 points or places

  6. Length Width Height Main Unit = Meters Distance LxW= Area Tools: - Metric Ruler - Tape Measure - Meter Stick LxWxH= Solid Volume Graphic Organizer = Concept Web

  7. Conversions kilometer hectometer dekameter meter decimeter centimeter millimeter KM Stepping up - You Divide by 10 HM Really Large Unit DK M DM CM MM Stepping down - You Multiply by 10 Really Small Unit “King Henry Died Monday Drinking Chocolate Milk”

  8. Metric Man C D A B E F KM MM HM CM DKM DM M The MOST you ever have to move the decimal in metrics is _____ places. SIX

  9. Follow the ‘bouncing’ decimal !! KM HM DK M DM CM MM 1 2 3 4 5 6 Ex. 1500. mm = _____ m 1 5 0 0. Smaller to Larger - move decimal to the LEFT . = 1 500 = 1.5 m . Ex. 1.5 m = _____ mm 1 . 5 Larger to Smaller - move decimal to the RIGHT . 0 . 0 = 1500 = 1500 mm

  10. Volume PPT The amount of space an object takes up

  11. Main Unit = Meters Length Width Height Solid Volume LxWxH= Solid Volume Tools: - Metric Ruler - Tape Measure - Meter Stick

  12. Main Unit = Liters Liquid Volume Tools: - Pipet - Beaker - Graduated Cylinder Meniscus Read at bottom of meniscus at eye level “Write This” “Draw This” “Don’t Draw This”

  13. Meniscus - U-shaped depression that a liquid makes when in a cylinder. Displacement - How much change there is to the water level after you put an object into a cylinder with a set amount of water. Water Tension - The ‘stretchy skin’ effect that water has. (ex. Belly Flop) Adhesion - Water molecules sticking to a different object. Cohesion -Water molecules sticking to other water molecules. Increment - Calculating the graduation distance on a graduated cylinder. Graduations - The lines on a graduated cylinder.

  14. Cups English System Pt. Pt. Pt. Pt. Qt. Qt. I am GALLON MAN Qt. Qt. Pt. Pt. Pt. Pt. 2 cups = 1 pint 2 pints = 1 quart 4 quarts = 1 gallon

  15. PPT Mass The amount of atoms in an object

  16. Weight Main Unit = Grams Mass Tool: - Triple Beam Balance
