Metric System Objectives 1. give the advantages of the metric system 2. match the base unit to the type of measurement 3. list the common prefixes

Metric System  developed by the French in the 1700's  later modified to the SI (System International)  most commonly used as the "kms system" (kilogram, meter, second)  we use the United States Customary System (USCS)

Why doesn’t the United States use the Metric System?

Advantages of the Metric System  uses decimals instead of fractions  one base unit per type of measurement  uses prefixes to change units by multiples of 10
