Week Eight - Paraire 11th Hune

Topic: Units of mass and capacity

• Mass is the scientific word for weight - measured in grams.
• Capacity is how much something can hold - measured in litres.
• In the metric system we use 1000 every time we convert - except for when using cm.
  

Learning objective: Be familiar with the units mg, g, kg and t (tonne) for mass, and the units mL, L and kL for capacity. Recognise when you need to multiply or divide by 1000 to convert, and convert accurately between these measurements.

Homework: ex 14.03 & 14.04
