1. oneone SK-8 Objective: To use the place value conversion method on metric values in order to convert units within the metric system. Core Question: How can we change from one metric unit to another? Drill: 1. Get a lesson ditto from the set. 2. Work with your neighbor to complete the Drill.

2. oneone SK-8 Homework Check Give 3 reasons why scientists prefer to use the metric system. 1.M.S. is based on the number 10 rather than random numbers. 2.M.S. uses the same prefixes for all measurements. C.S. doesn’t use prefixes. 3.M.S. uses decimals instead of fractions. 4.M.S. is more widely used than C.S.

3. oneone SK-8 Drill: Read the scenario below. Mrs. Kulezs has been very mean to Mr. Segal. As a result Mr. Segal has come up with an appropriate punishment. She will be forced to fill his 8,755 hectoliter (hL) pool. Unfortunately for her, the only tool that she has is a spoon that holds exactly 1 centiliter (cL) of liquid. What is the minimum number of trips she will need to take in order to totally fill the pool? (I wonder how long it will take her.) Feel free to draw a picture of how she would look after this punishment once you have solved this problem. 8755 hL = _________ cL
