MEASUREMENT: A millimetre - you can understand - MM, CM, M, KM is about as long as a grain of sand. When you buy food at lunch time, NAME: it’s about the thickness of a dime.
DATE: A staple - from side to side - is about one centimetre wide. A fingernail on a girl or guy is about a centimetre high.
Ten millimetres is a centimetre. WATCH VIDEO One hundred centimetres is a metre. One thousand metres - that’s a kilometre, and it’s the same for grams and litres.
A school bus wheel’s diameter is about one metre, and a metre is about as far as the length of a guitar.
Run ten soccer fields in a row... about a kilometre you’ll go. It’s about how far you’d walk if you crossed twelve city blocks.
Imagine holding a grain of sand (about a millimetre!), or a marble in your hand (about a centimetre!), a door handle from the floor (about a metre!), a ten-minute walk on the shore (about a kilometre!)
