International System of UnitsInternational System of Units (SI System) (SI System)
In 1960, the metric system was standardized in the form of the International System of Units (SI). These SI units were accepted by the international scientific community as the system for measuring all quantities.

SI base units are not always convenient to use so prefixes are attached to the base unit, creating a more convenient easier-to-use unit. You must memorize these!
TemperatureTemperature
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter.

• One meter is approximately 3.3 feet.• One kilogram weighs approximately 2.2 pounds at the surface of the earth.
Remember: Mass (amount of material in the object) is constant,but weight (force of gravity on the object) may change.• One liter or one dm3 is slightly more than a quart, 1.06 quart to be exact.

1. Identify starting & ending units.
2. Line up conversion factors so units cancel.
3. Multiply all top numbers & divide by each bottom number.

We also make QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENTS, which involve numbers.
