2. TOOLS AND SYSTEMS
• What is needed to be measured TOOLS Systems
• TemperaturE Thermometer celsius &
fahrenheit
• Time clock hours & minutes
• mass scale kilograms &
pounds
• length ruler cm & inches
• Capacity Measuring cup cups & liters
3. We can use measurement
• When you need to measure your height and weight.
• when you cook, you need to know how much of the ingredient you will
use.
• when people build things
• when you have math class
4. HOW WE CAN CONVERT BETWEEN
UNITS IN THE METRIC SYSTEM
• Kilometer: 1000 meters
• Hectometer: 100 meters
• Dekameter: 10 meters
• Meter: 1 meter
• Decimeter: 1/10 of a meter (10 cm)
• Centimeter: 1/100 of a meter (1cm)
• Millimeters: 1/1000 of a meter
(1/10cm)
5. How we connect measurement
with materials
• To make a material like rubber, you need to know how much
latex and chemicals there are inside it.
• Materials like plastic can’t burn so they have to be put
in a landfill. You need to measure how much can fit inside
there.
• You need to have a certain size of paper such as A4 to fit
inside some printers, so you have to measure and cut the
edges if its not the right size.
