Convert units of measure.

Converting should include

  • the use of unit conversion charts
  • the use of formulas (e.g., Watt’s law, Ohm’s law, ideal gas law)
  • metric and standard measurement systems
  • scientific notation (e.g., kilo-, mega-, giga-, micro-). 

Process/Skill Questions:

  • Why is it important to know the difference between metric and standard measurement systems? What are the consequences of not understanding the difference?
  • How is scientific notation used in converting units of measure?
