Additional information about measurements… Kilo, hecto, deka, (base), deci, centi, milli Kilo, hecto, deka, (base), deci, centi, milli 1 micrometer (µm) = meters 1 micrometer (µm) = meters 1 nanometer (nm) = meters 1 nanometer (nm) = meters

Additional information about measurements… Volume: 1 cm 3 = 1 mL, so you can measure with a RULER to get an amount of liquid Volume: 1 cm 3 = 1 mL, so you can measure with a RULER to get an amount of liquid 1 meter = 39.5 inches 1 meter = 39.5 inches Temperature: Temperature: Freezing point of water = 0°C (32°F) Boiling Point of water = 100°C (212°F)
