How Far, How Big, How Full? - A Metric Conversion Practice Activity
Metric prefixes are commonly used in science courses, and yet the system can be tricky for those who live in countries that ascribe to another system (I'm looking at you, USA...). This metric conversion practice activity gives students a chance to convert multiple data points from and to various metric prefixes, from pico all the way up to tera. This activity can be used to introduce conversions, as conversion practice, or as homework.This activity includes a short metric conversion explanation/

Big and Small: Metric Prefixes and Conversions
Ah, metric prefixes. So useful, and yet so tricky to master for those of us in the small part of the world (*ahem* USA) that doesn't regularly use the metric system! Use this activity to introduce your students to the most commonly used metric prefixes (pico through tera), learn what they mean, and how to convert back to base units. This activity includes a short reading comprehension section, a metric prefixes chart for the students to complete, the basics of converting back to base units, and
