  1. Measurements in Science By: Marvin Lowe Metric Measurement Tools Graduated Cylinder = L Metric Ruler = m Thermometer = Celsius Stop Watch = s Scale in Newtons = N Metric Balance = g

  2. METRIC STAIRS Bench 1 Metric Tool Used Metric Unit At Bench Used to Measure Metric Ruler Meter - m Distance Graduated Cylinder Liter - L Liquid Volume Balance Gram – g Mass Thermometer Degrees Celsius Temperature Stop Watch Second - s Time Scale Newton – N Weight Newton – N Force Watt – w Power Joule – j Work Hertz Frequency Byte Information

  3. METRIC STAIRS Kilo = k 1000 103 Hecto = h Decimal LEFT 100 102 Deca =da 10 101 Bench 1 Deci = d Decimal RIGHT .1 10-1 Centi = c .01 10-2 Milli = m .001 10-3

  4. Metric Conversion Steps 1. Locate the known metric unit prefix on the metric stairs. 2. Locate the unknown metric unit prefix to which you want to convert the known metric unit. 3. Count the number of times you would put your foot down on a new step if you moved on the steps from the known metric unit prefix to the unknown metric unit prefix. 4. Did you go left or right on the metric stairs? 5. Move the decimal (.) the number of steps you took, in the direction you went, in the known number, and you now have converted to the unknown metric unit number.

  5. Metric Conversion Practice 250.0 mg = .025 dag 44.0 ds = .44 das .4536 km = 4536.0 dm .00046 hL = 4.6 cL 8.5 j = .0085 kj 245.0 cc = 245.0 mL 86940.0 cw = 8.694 hw 446.67 cc = .044667 daL
