Title: Identify units of length, weight, volume, and temperature.
Course: Building Trades I (17009-I) > Section: Core Construction Skills: Applying Fundamental Construction Skills

Identification should include

- basic types of U.S. Customary and metric measurements of distance and weight
- Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales
- formulas used to calculate for area and volume and when to use these measurements
- sizes of particular measurements relative to their basic units (e.g., deca-, hecto-, kilo-, mega-, deci-, centi-, milli-, and micro-)
- symbols associated with different measurements.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the processes of converting U.S. Customary lengths to metric lengths and metric lengths to U.S. Customary lengths?
- What is the mathematical relationship among the units of length in the metric system? How does this simplify the calculations involved?
