The Metric System/ Length 1) A measurement system based on a base unit that corresponds to a certain kind of measurement 2) Length = meter Mass = kilogram Volume = liter or cm3 Density = g/cm3 Temperature = degree Celsius (°C) 3) Length is the distance between two things 4) The base unit is the meter. A meter is about the width of the lab table. 1/100 of a meter = 1centimeter 1/1000 of a meter = 1 millimeter 1000 m = 1 kilometer What is the metric system? What are some common metric units? 3) What is length? 4) What is the metric unit for length?

Metric System Centimeters are 10 times larger than millimeters so it takes more millimeters for the same length 1 centimeter = 10 millimeters Example not to scale 1 1 mm 1 1 cm
