Units of Measurement The International System of Units Begun by the French Academy of Sciences in the late 1700s, the SI is used by almost all countries in the world. All SI units are based on the number 10, which makes conversion from one unit to another easy.

Length Measurement from one point to another SI-Meter English Standard-inches, feet, yards, miles

Area Measurement of a surface Area=length x width SI-meters squared English Standard-inches squared, feet squared, yards squared, miles squared, acres

Volume measurement of space taken up SI-liter English standard-liquid oz, cup, pint, quart, gallon

Mass Measurement of matter, what it is made up of SI-kilogram English Standard-solid oz. and pounds

Weight Measurement of the pull of gravity on an object SI-kilogram English Standard- solid oz. and pounds

Temperature Measurement of hot/cold SI- Celsius or Kelvin English Standard-Fahrenheit
