English vs. Metric System Chapter 1 Biology

Origins of the English System King Henry of England defined the yard as the distance between the tip of his nose to his thumb

Inch: width of a thumb (or 3 barleycorns in England 1066)

The Foot: The length of the king’s foot Yard, length of his arm When that king dies?

Mile: Romans- 1000 double steps of their marching legions Acre: By the English as the amount of land that a yoke of an oxen could plow in one day Gallon= 8 pounds of wheat

Metric System First version of it was by the French Academy of Science in 1790 AD French People had to adopt it by 1840 Based on physics like the “circumference of the Earth”.

USA Myanmar (Burma) Liberia Great Britain adopted metric in 1965

Metric System History In 1960 an International Group of scientists, revised the French metric System calling is “The International System of Units”. Now it is used all over the world. 1957, our military used it, and by 1992 Congress required all federal agencies to use it.

How does it apply to your real life????

USA Myanmar (Burma) Liberia Great Britain adopted metric in 1965

English Units Weight: ounce, pounds Distance: inch, foot, yard, mile Volume: teaspoon, tablespoon, ounce, cup pint, quart, gallon,

Metric Units Weight: grams, kilograms Distance: centimeter, meter Volume: liter, milliliter

English Conversions 12 inches= 1 foot 3 feet = 1 yard 5280 feet in a mile

Converting from Eng to Metric Distance: Inches to Centimeters OR Yards to meters OR Miles to Kilometers Liquid Volume: Fluid Ounces to milli-Liters OR Gallons to Liters Weight: Ounces to grams OR pounds to Kilograms
