Study Notes

Metric Prefixes

Kilo (k): 1,000
Hecto (h): 100
Deka (da): 10
Deci (d): 0.1
Centi (c): 0.01
Milli (m): 0.001

Conversions

1 centimeter = 10 millimeters
Ratio for conversion from cm to mm: 10 mm / 1 cm
To convert 4 cm to mm, multiply: 4 cm * 10 mm/cm = 40 mm

Scientific Method Steps

Make observations
Ask questions
Construct a hypothesis
Test hypothesis with an experiment
Analyze results
Conclude findings
Communicate results
Repeat the process if needed
