1. Metric & Measurement
Notes

2. Metric Conversions King – Kilo Henry – Hecto Died – Deca
Unfortunately – unit (gram, liter, meter)
Drinking – Deci
Chocolate – Centi
Milk - Milli

3. Moving Decimals Metric system is based on the number 10.
Conversions only require moving the decimal point to the left or right.
Example:
500 kg = ________ cg
Decimal is to the right of a whole number. (500. kg)
K H D U D C M
Decimal needs to move from K to C because of kg & cg. It will move 5 times to the right to reach C. Add that many zeros to fill in gaps, or write down numbers that are present.
500 kg = 50,000,000 cg

4. Measurements
Remember to place the zero on the ruler at the edge of what you are measuring.
Add the numbers on a triple beam balance to get the mass.
Read a graduated cylinder on the bottom of the meniscus for volume. (bottom of the curve of liquid)
ALWAYS WRITE A UNIT AFTER THE NUMBER! OTHERWISE IT’S JUST A NUMBER!!
