Converting should include the use of unit conversion charts and formulas (e.g., Watt’s law, Ohm’s law, ideal gas law) to convert
- metric to standard, vice versa
- 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?
