dataMade by comparing an
unknown quantity with a standard unit
Example: The length of a piece of string can be measured by comparing the string against a meter stick.

ENGLISH SYSTEM- most commonly used in the US.
Disadvantage: units are not systematically related to each other and require memorization.
METRIC (SI)- used by the scientist around the world. Adopted from the French name Le Systeme Internationale d’ Unites

+ LENGTH Measurement of anything from end to end How long an objects is The basis of length units for the metric system
is the meter.1 inch = 2.54 centimeters = 25.4
millimeters1 foot = 30.48 centimeters
1 yard = 0.91 meters1 mile = 1.6 kilometers
1 millimeter = 0.04 inches1 centimeter = .39 inches = 0.0325 feet

+MASS AND WEIGHT Mass and weight are not the same thing. Although we
often use the interchangeably, each one has a specific definition and usage.
Mass- measure of the amount of matter in an object. The mass of an object is independent of its location. The basic unit form mass is kilogram (kg) .
Weight- force of attraction between the object and the earth’s gravity. The weight of an object can vary from place to place and changes with its location on the Earth.

An easy way to move within the metric system is by moving the decimal point one place for each “step” desiredExample: change meters to centimeters
1 meter = 10 decimeters = 100 centimetersor1.00 meter = 10.0 decimeters = 100. centimeters

Now let’s try this example from meters to kilometers:16093 meters = 1609.3 decameters = 160.93 hectometers = 16.093
kilometers
So for every “step” from the base unit to kilo, we moved the decimal 1 place to the left (the same direction as in the diagram below)
