Metric System Worksheets and Conversion Chart

Have you heard that King Henry died by drinking chocolate milk? Well, not really. King Henry Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk is a silly mnemonic phrase that will help students remember the order of the metric prefixes. Since the metric system is based upon units of 10 (powers of 10), students can easily convert metric units using the conversion chart.

Understanding the conversion chart will help students on standardized tests and in future math and science courses.

All materials come in color and black and white.
