Measurement tells us exactly how long, how heavy, how hot, or how much something is โ using standard units that everyone agrees on.
Common units you'll use:
- โขLength & height โ centimetres (cm), metres (m), kilometres (km)
- โขWeight โ grams (g), kilograms (kg)
- โขVolume โ millilitres (mL), litres (L)
- โขTemperature โ degrees Celsius (ยฐC)
๐ Example:A pencil is about 15 cm long. A bottle of water holds about 500 mL. Water freezes at 0ยฐC and boils at 100ยฐC!
๐ก Tip:Small units (like cm or g) are for small things. Bigger units (like m, km, or kg) are for bigger things โ 100 cm makes 1 m, and 1000 g makes 1 kg!
