  1. Measurements in Science Metric Measurement Tools Graduated Cylinder = L Metric Ruler/ meter stick = m Thermometer = Celsius Stop Watch = s Scale in Newtons = N Metric Balance = g

  2. METRIC STAIRS Base 1 Metric Tool Used Metric Base unit Used to Measure Metric Ruler or meter stick 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 Spring Scale Newton – N Force Amp Meter Watt – w Power Sound Meter Hertz - hz Frequency Work Joule - j Byte - b Information

  3. METRIC STAIRS Kilo = k 1000 103 Hecto = h Decimal LEFT 100 102 Deca =da Base unit 10 101 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.
