THIS diagram of the metric units of length, area and volume is printed on a sheet of paper about 3 feet 6 inches by 2 feet 6 inches. The various measures are shown full size. To be of the greatest ...

Units from the metric system can be used to describe the mass, volume or length of an object. Mass is measured in grams (g) and kilograms (kg). Volume is measured in millilitres (ml) and litres (l).

The metric system is used to measure the length, mass or capacity of an object. Length is measured in millimetres (mm), centimetres (cm), metres (m) or kilometres (km).

The Imperial measurements system was first defined in the British Weights and Measures Act 1824 and 1878. Imperial measurements were used to measure length, mass, or capacity in a standard way.

Students are introduced to the metric system. Introduction to Chemistry continues with a discussion of the Metric System: length, mass, volume, time and temperature are defined, and students learn ...
