The Metric System Get to know these terms: centimeter millimeter meter kilometer decimeter gram kilogram milliliter liter Get to know these terms!

meter The meter is a unit of length in the metric system. You have used meter sticks which are about the same length as three feet. A meter is equal to ( Made up of ) the following: 10 DECIMETERS 100 CENTIMETERS 1,000 MILIMETERS

Kids Hate Doing Metrics During Class Minutes K = Kilo times 1000 H = Hecta times 100 D = Deca times 10 M= Meters, Liters, or Grams times 1 m = milli divided by 1000 c = centi divided by 100 d = deci divided by 10

A kilometer is a unit used to measure very long distances. You may use a kilometer to measure the distance traveled in a car. A kilometer is equal to ( made up of ) the following: 1,000 meters Q : How many decimeters make up a kilometer ? A:________

1. How many centimeters are in 1 meter ? A: How many decimeters are in a meter ? A: How many meters are in a kilometer ? A: 1, How many kilometers are in a kilometer ? A:1

The gram is a metric unit of weight. Used to weigh small objects. The kilogram is a metric unit of weight. Used to weigh large objects. Q. Which would you use to weigh a piano ? A. __________________________

The liter is used to measure the capacities of large objects. You would use a liter to see how much liquid is in a pitcher. The milliliter is a metric unit used to measure the capacities of small objects. You would use a milliliter to see how much liquid is on a spoon. one liter = 1,000 millimeters Q. 5,000 milliliters equals how many liters? A. _____________________

Celsius is the metric unit for measuring temperature. Water freezes at 0 degrees C Normal body temperature is 37 degrees C A hot day would be about 30 degrees C Water boils at 100 degrees C Q: Would a refrigerator be kept at 60 degrees C, or at 5 degrees C? A: _______________________

1. 10, , kilograms degrees Celsius
