Collecting and Presenting Data

Today, we reviewed the first part of collecting and presenting data: measuring. We reviewed the SI measurement system and worked on a few conversion problems. We learned the definition and unit of measure for length, mass, volume, density, time, and temperature.

Afterward, we did 24 problems for review.

Write the correct abbreviation for each metric unit.

1) Kilogram _____   4) Milliliter _____   7) Kilometer _____

2) Meter _____   5) Millimeter _____   8) Centimeter _____

3) Gram _____   6) Liter _____   9) Milligram _____

Try these conversions, using the ladder method.

10) 2000 mg = _______ g   15) 5 L = _______ mL   20) 16 cm = _______ mm

11) 104 km = _______ m   16) 198 g = _______ kg   21) 2500 m = _______ km

12) 480 cm = _____ m   17) 75 mL = _____ L   22) 65 g = _____ mg

13) 5.6 kg = _____ g   18) 50 cm = _____ m   23) 6.3 cm = _____ mm

14) 8 mm = _____ cm   19) 5.6 m = _____ cm   24) 120 mg = _____ g

Then we went over scientific notation (which was review either way) and did 12 problems on the topic.

1. 77 =
2. 120,000 =
3. 86,000 =
4. 3,800 =
5. 7,500,000 =
6. 880 =
7. 8.9 × 103 =
8. 1.49 × 105 =
9. 4.6 × 101 =
10. 3.2 × 104 =
11. 4.536 × 106 =
12. 1.9 × 101 =
