table, graph, or diagram.
Independent Work Metric Conversions
Write the correct abbreviation for each metric unit.
1) Kilogram __Kg___ 5) Millimeter __mm___
2) Meter ___m__
6) Liter __L___
3) Gram __g___
7) Kilometer __Km___
4) Milliliter __mL___ 8) Centimeter ___cm__
9) Milligram __mg__
Try these conversions, using the ladder method.
10) 2000 mg = 2 g
11) 104 km = 104000 m
12) 480 cm = 4.8 m
13) 5.6 kg = 5600 g
14) 8 mm = .8 cm
15) 5 L = 5000 mL
16) 198 g = .198 kg
17) 75 mL = .075 L
18) 50 cm = .5 m
19) 5.6 m = 560 cm
20) 16 cm = 160 mm
21) 2500 m = 2.5 km
22) 65 g = 65000 mg
23) 6.3 cm = 63 mm
24) 120 mg = .12 g
Compare using <, >, or =
25) 63cm < 6 m
26) 536cm = 53.6dm
27) 5g > 508 mg
28) 43mg < 5g
29) 1,500mL > 1.5L
30) 3.6m > 36cm

SM: #10. Paper Airplane Lab


Scientific Processes Used:

Formulating and Testing Hypotheses

Identifying and Controlling Variables

Measurement and Data Collection
Materials Needed:

Paper; 2 other papers you choose; SNB; Data page

Directions:
1.
Your group has to make a decision: What are you TESTING? Which type of
paper for the paper airplane flies the farthest?
2.
Once you have decided, your group needs to complete the SM template in
your SNB. (Observe, Question, Hypothesis, Procedures/ Test, Results/ Data,
Conclusion)
3.
Once your group is ready to test, your teacher will show you where to go.
The taped distance is 15 feet, but you will need to record the distance your
airplanes travel. (one block = 1 foot)
4.
When all the trials are completed, return to your lab table and complete
the data table.
5.
The Data table will be turned-in for an individual GRADE!
