The document describes the metric system of measurement for length, capacity/volume, mass, and temperature. It provides the units and their relationships, such as centimeters in a meter, liters in a liter, grams in a kilogram, and temperatures for boiling water, body temperature, and freezing water.

1. Metric system of measurement

2. length Centimeters (cm) Decimeter (dm)= 10 cm Meter (m) =10 dm=100 cm Kilometer (km) = 1000 meters

3. Capacity/Volume Milliliter (mL) Liter (L) 1000 mL = L

4. Mass (a little like weight) Measured in grams (g) 1000 g = 1 kilogram (kg) To go from kg to grams add 3 zeros To go from g to kg drop 3 zeros

5. Temperature Degrees celcius 100 degrees = water boils 37 degrees = body temperature 30 degrees = hot day 20 degrees = room temperature 0 degrees = water freezes -10 degrees = cold day
