All scientific measurements are made using the Metric System It is also called the SI System La Systeme International dUnites The United States is the only major country that does not use this system. 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.. ~King Henry Died unexpectedly Drinking Chocolate Milk~.
