Larger Measurement from a milligram

1 gram (1 g)	Remember, milli is the prefix meaning 1 one thousandth (0.001). So there are exactly 1000 milligrams in the unit of measure gram and 1 gram is simply written 1 g
Larger Measurement from a gram
1 kilogram (1 kg)	Remember, kilo is the prefix meaning 1000 times as much. So, 1 000 g (grams) is the mass of 1 kg (kilogram). Pronounced "KILL-oh-gram" NOT "kill-AH-gram".
Larger Measurement from a kilogram
1 tonne (1 t)	There are exactly 1000 kg (kilograms) in 1 t (spelled tonne) (said "ton")

DID YOU KNOW? ( Video)
that you can divide 1 meter by exactly 10 equal parts
(10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm)
then make a cube (1000 cm³) of it to fill with water
and you will find that it contains exactly 1 L (1 liter)
(1000 mL) of water
and is the mass of exactly 1 kg (1 kilogram) (1000 g)
ALL SIMPLY RELATED IN 10!

AND THAT
"centimeters, milliliters, milligrams"
(VIDEO CLIP)

1 cm³ (1 cubic centimeter)	filled with water contains exactly 1 mL (1 milliliter)	and is the mass of exactly 1 g (1 gram)
