Metric System

Metric System: a standard system of measurement used by scientist worldwide

Called System International (SI)

Based on units 10s

Page 3: Metrics

Base Units

Mass Measures the amount of

matter in an object Units: Grams (g) Instrument used: Balance

Length Measures distance Units: Meters (m) Instrument used: Ruler,

meter stick

Volume Measures the amount of

space an object takes upspace an object takes up Units: Liter (L) – for

liquids; Cubic Centimeter (cm3) – for irregular objects

Instrument used: Graduated cylinder or Beaker

Decimals

If decimal is shown, move the decimal from that place Ex. 4.56 (start after the 4)

If the decimal is not shown, it is located behind the last number Ex. 32 (start after the 2)
