Key Stage 4
Meaning
SI Units are the standard scientific units used by scientists around the world.
About SI Units
- SI stands for "Système international".
- SI units have been standardised around the world so that any experiment can be reproduced and so that components in machines are interchangeable.
- The USA does not always use SI Units. As a result of the confusion over units a space probe once crashed on Mars because one team of scientists was using inches and the other team was using hundredths of metre (centimetres).
