Zoom in and Zoom out! Converting units of measure

Would you measure the length of your screen in kilometres?

Or the distance from your house to the school in centimetres?

What about the capacity of a pool in milliliters?

Or your mass (weight) in milligrams?



It is possible... but is it easy?

Not really. So...

We measure small things with small units We measure medium things with medium units We measure large things with large units
1 centimetre is the length of a nail
1 meter is the length of a guitar 1 kilometre is de distance from the school gate to the singing classroom!
1 milliliter is 1 small perfume sample bottle
1 liter is 2 water bottles
1 kilolitre (cubic metre) is 3 full bathtubs
