A STANDARD MEASUREMENT SYSTEM
The Metric System

WHEN AND WHY WAS THE METRIC SYSTEM INVENTED?
The metric system was invented in 1790
The metric system was invented because countries were using many different systems of measurement causing confusion and lack of consistency

WHO INVENTED THE METRIC SYSTEM?
The metric system was invented by a group of French scientists

KEY CONCEPT: WHY DO SCIENTISTS USE A STANDARD MEASUREMENT SYSTEM?
Using SI as the standard system of measurement allows scientists to compare data and communicate with each other about their results
Using SI measurement also allows experiments to be repeated and most importantly achieve a desired result

WHAT IS LENGTH?
Length is the distance from one point to another

the meter
