Metric System and Unit Conversions Chapter 3.2 Metric System and Unit Conversions

Review: Metric System MAJOR METRIC PREFIXES: OTHERS: Micro (µ) (1 meter = 1x106 µ m) Nano (n) (1 meter = 1x109nm) Mega (M) (1 meter = 1x10-6Mm) Giga (G) (1 meter = 1x10-9 Gm) Unit Seconds

Metric SUFFIXES (what is being measured…) Meter (m) Measures Distance – how far apart objects are Liter (L) Measures Volume – amount of space an object takes up Gram (g) Measures Mass – how much matter an object has Second (sec) Measures Time – how long something takes

Converting Metric…Move the Decimal

Mass vs. Weight Mass – how much matter is in an object NO GRAVITY Mass stays same anywhere Grams, kilograms, etc. Weight – mass + gravity Changes depending on where you are Kilograms, pounds, etc. One more…
