This is a set of notes to accompany my powerpoint presentation on the Metric System and Dimensional Analysis. It includes a complete set of notes for the teacher (6 pages), and an outline of the notes for the students (6 pages). Students will use the outline as the powerpoint is being presented and will fill in the notes as the lesson is being taught.

Topics covered are:
1) The International System of Units
2) The seven base units in the SI System
3) Advantages of using the SI system
4) SI Prefixes: giga, mega, kilo, hecto, deca, deci, centi, milli, micro, and nano
5) Units used in measuring length, mass and volume
6) Practice problems to check for understanding
7) The steps to follow to solve a problem using dimensional analysis
8) Practice problems using dimensional analysis
9) Problems on converting between units. These start very easy and get harder. Some examples: Convert km to m, convert km to dm, convert g/cm3 to kg/m3.
