| Metric System | used in most of the world and science community |
| area | the number of units squares that fit inside a surface |
| length | the number of units that fit along one edge of an object |
| mass | the measure of the amount of matter ina a given object |
| volume | the measure of the amount of space an object takes up |
| density | the amount of matter in a given space |
| gravity | a force of attraction, or pull, between objets |
| newton | the metric unit for weight and force |
| weight | the measure of the pull of gravity between an object and Earth |
| matter | anything that has mass and volume |
