| A | B |
|---|
| kilo | Number value = 1,000 Symbol = " k " |
| hecto | Number Value = 100 Symbol = " h " |
| deka or deca | Number Value = 10 Symbol = " dk " or " da " |
| deci | Number Value = 0.1 Symbol = " d " |
| centi | Number Value = 0.01 Symbol = " c " |
| milli | Number Value = 0.001 Symbol = " m " |
| meter | Used to measure "length".Symbol (m). |
| liter | Used to measure "volume" of liquids/irregular solids. Symbol ( L or l ). |
| gram | measures "mass". Symbol (g). |
| weight | measure of the pull of "gravity on an object...CAN CHANGE DEPENDING ON WHERE THE OBJECT IS IN RELATION TO THE EARTH(or any other large body in the universe)...measured with a "scale". |
| length | a measure of the distance between two points.Base word is "meter"(m) |
| volume | measures the amount of "space" taken up or occupied...or how much a container can hold. V=LxWxH for "regular" solids..units are called "cubic units"...use metric ruler / Volume of liquids measured with a "graduated cylinder"..unit is "liter" (L or l). |
| mass | measures the amount of "matter" that makes up something- does NOT DEPEND ON THE PULL OF GRAVITY- does NOT CHANGE WITH A CHANGE IN A MATERIAL'S LOCATION. Measured on a "balance". Base word is "gram"(g). |
| water boils | 100 *C / 212*F |
| human body temperature | 37*C / 98.6*F |
| room temperature | 20*C / 68*F |
| water freezes | 0*C/ 32*F |
| area | measures how much "surface" an object has...A= LxW..units are called "square units" |
| Water displacement | the method used to find the "volume" of an "irregularly shaped obect" that could not easily be measured with a metric ruler. |
| meter stick/metric ruler | tool used to measure "length" in SI. |
| graduated cylinder | tool used to measure "liquid volume" in SI. |
| balance | tool used to measure "mass" in SI. |
