    1. The Metric System SI Systeme International dUnites Universal system of measurement. Based on units (or powers) of 10 or multiples of 10. Metric comes from the Greek metron, meaning measure. The world uses the metrics except US, Myanmar and Liberia

    3. Length Distance between two points Measured in meters Use rulers, meter sticks to measure

    4. Volume The amount of space an object takes up Liquids: liter L Solids cubic centimeters cm3 Liquids use a graduated cylinder Solids: ruler and calculator (l x w x h = V) Or displacement

    5. Mass The amount of matter in an object Measure using grams g Use a balance (not a scale!) to measure

    6. Length, Mass, & Volume (MGL) Length is the distance between two points measured in meters. Mass is the amount of matter in an object measured in grams. Volume is the amount of space taken up by an object measured in liters.

    7. The Tools Length Meter stick or ruler Volume Liquids: Graduated cylinder Solid: L x W x H or displacement Mass Balance

    9. Conversion 1 Kilometer 1 Hectometer 1 Dekameter 1 Meter 1 Decimeter 1 Centimeter 1 Millimeter 1,000 meters = 100 meters = 10 meters = 1 meter = 1/10 (.1) meter = 1/100 (.01) meter = 1/1,000 (.001) meter =

    10. Convert the following: 100 cm = ______m 40 m = ______hm 2000 mm = ______dm 5 hm = ______m 10 m = ______dkm 1 meter .4 hectometer 20 decimeters 500 meters 1 dekameter

    11. Metric Scavenger Hunt 1) The length of the dry erase board 2) The mass of the fossil 3) The volumes of the cups (big and small) 4) The length of this room 5) The mass of the chalk 6) The volume of the frog 7) The length of your finger 8) The mass of your shoe 9) The volume of your hand 10) Choice choose what and how to measure something in the classroom
