3. 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, 30 cubits high How does this relate to the metric system??? How big was Noah ’s Ark?

4. Metric System

6. Prefixes Milli (1/1000) or .001 Centi (1/100) or .01 Deci (1/10) or .1 Base Unit (meter, liter, gram) or 1 Deka (10) Hecto (100) Kilo (1000)

7. Miscellaneous 1 ml = 1cm 3 or cubic centimeters (cc ’s)

8. Unit Factoring-example Km—Hm—Dkm—m—dm—cm—mm Move decimal space right or left accordingly! 2.5mm = ? Hm 1.2Km = ? m =.000025HM =1200m

9. Unit Factoring K m— H m— D km— m — d m— c m— m m Use a mnemonic device to remember sequence K ing H arry ’s D aughter M arried D irty C harlie M oore Use a song to help remember it!
