Metric System and Graphing Notes
I. A Common Measurement SystemA. Most scientists use the metric system when
collecting data and performing experiments.

B. Metric system – a decimal system based on multiples of 10, also known as International System of Units or SI.
1. Length: meter (m)2. Mass: kilogram (kg)3. Volume: liter (L)4. Temperature: degrees Celsius (C)
Why is it easier to use the metric system rather than standard measurements?

II. Analyzing Biological DataA. Making graphs is the easiest way to understand
and recognize patterns in data.
What attributes does a properly made graph have?
