==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Kilopascals''' ('''kPa''') are a [[unit]] of [[pressure]] 1,000 times larger than the [[SI Unit]]; the [[Pascal]].
===About Kilopascals===
: '''Kilopascals''' are shortened to '''kPa''' with a lower case k and an upper case '''Pa'''.
: [[Kilo]] means one thousand so there are 1,000 [[Pascal]]s in a [[kilopascal]].
===Converting to Kilopascals===
