System of Units SI Learning Targets Use appropriate tools and equipment for measuring Use the metric system for measuring Use the ladder method and dimensional analysis to convert values between metric and English units. Metric System. The metric system is based on a base unit that corresponds to a certain kind of measurement. Length = meter. Volume = liter. Weight (Mass) = gram. Prefixes plus base units make up the metric system . Why do scientists need a standard system of measurements?. Remember that science must be . repeatable. – another scientist has to able to repeat your experiment using the same amounts, concentrations, lengths, weights, etc.. Chapter 4. MAT 119. Objectives. Recall from memory the metric and household approximate equivalents.. Convert among units of measurement within the same system.. Convert units of measurement from one system to another.. Why use the Metric System?. - Base of 10, making it easy to Use. - Consistent with other scientists around the world. . Metric system’s base units. -Length: meter (m). -Volume: liter (l). -Mass: kilogram (Kg). . EQ: How can you apply your understanding of measurement units to express larger units in terms of smaller units within one system?. Vocabulary.

The word ’metric’ comes from the French word for ‘measure’. Official name of the metric system is the . international system of measurements. Drill . On your giant whiteboard, separate the board into 4 different sections with a section in the middle (see picture above) . Each person will solve the following problem in one of the sections:. T. Trimpe 2008 http://sciencespot.net/. Purpose of the Metric System:. The metric system is a system of weights and . measures implemented . in 1795 in France. .. Scientists . around the world use it as the international standard to clearly communicate data.. Metric System The metric system is based on a base unit that corresponds to a certain kind of measurement Base unit for length = meter Base unit for volume = liter Base unit for mass = gram A prefixes plus a base unit makes up the metric system 4 Learning Objective(s) Describe the general relationship between the U.S. customary units and metric units of length, weight/mass, and volume Define the metric prefixes and use them to perform is used . very little in the United States. The metric system does not use . inches, feet. , pounds, and so on, but its units for time and electricity are the same . as those . used now in the United States. 16. th. Marcel Grossmann Meeting.
