If you are absent Do not ask the teacher: “What did I miss?” Check the website: jainahs.weebly.com Grab your missing worksheets from the back Look at the Do First/DOL sheet in the back If you are confused about something covered, then ask the teacher before class, after class, or during RISE. Do not ask during class unless it is being covered.

And converting among units The Metric System And converting among units

The Metric System The metric system is used by scientists world-wide to minimize confusion Also known as Système Internationale d’Unités, or “SI”

There are more base units, but these are the most common The Metric System The essence of metric to metric conversions is recognizing the base units Length = meter (m) Volume = liter (L) Mass = gram (g) Time = second (s) Each base unit can have one of many prefixes attached to it As with any other prefix, the prefix means the same thing regardless of the base unit it is attached to There are more base units, but these are the most common

How to use the staircase model The Metric System How to use the staircase model Example: Meters to centimeters King Kilo- Henry Hecto- Died Decka- by Base Unit (m/L/g/s) drinking deci- chocolate centi- milk milli- Identify the two units you need to find an equality between

How to use the staircase model The Metric System How to use the staircase model Example: Meters to centimeters King Kilo- Henry Hecto- Died Decka- by Base Unit (m/L/g/s) drinking deci- chocolate centi- milk milli- 1 1 2. Put a “1” under the “higher” unit and a “1” under the lower unit

How to use the staircase model The Metric System How to use the staircase model Example: Meters to centimeters King Kilo- Henry Hecto- Died Decka- by Base Unit (m/L/g/s) drinking deci- chocolate centi- milk milli- 1 1 3. Count how many steps it takes to get to the lower unit.

How to use the staircase model The Metric System How to use the staircase model Example: Meters to centimeters King Kilo- Henry Hecto- Died Decka- by Base Unit (m/L/g/s) drinking deci- chocolate centi- milk milli- 1 1 0 0 4. Add that many zeros to the “1” under the lower unit.

How to use the staircase model The Metric System How to use the staircase model Example: Meters to centimeters King Kilo- Henry Hecto- Died Decka- by Base Unit (m/L/g/s) drinking deci- chocolate centi- milk milli- 1 m = 1 0 0 C m 5. Add the units to each number and an “equals” sign between the two numbers

A Note about Volume Volume is the space occupied by an object Its unit (liter) is a combination of other base units A LITER is actually one cubic decimeter (dm³) A milliliter is actually one cubic centimeter (cm³) 1dm³ 1dm³ 1dm³

Temperature Kelvin is the SI base unit for temperature Zero Kelvin is a point where all particles are at their lowest possible energy state Scientists often use the Celsius scale for ease of use Kelvin (K) = °C + 273

Density Density is defined as the amount of mass per unit of volume Like volume, it is found by combining two other base units The equation for Density is: Density = Mass / Volume

Density Example: What is the density of an object if its mass is 13.5 grams and its volume is 5 cm³? 3 3

Density Example: What is the density of an object if it’s mass is 13.5 grams and it’s volume is 5 cm³? 3 3

Density Example: What is the density of an object if it’s mass is 13.5 grams and it’s volume is 5 cm³? 3 3

Converting among Metric Units To convert among units, change the equalities into fractions, and arrange the fractions so that the units can cancel out Example: How many milligrams are in 35 grams? We know that 1 gram = 1000 mg, which is the same as writing it as Which fraction should we use? We want to CANCEL OUT grams and be left with milligrams
