The metric system
People all over the world use kilograms, centimeters, square meters, liters, and Celsius
(C). There are all ways to measure things. They are all part of the metric system.
During the French revolution ( 1789- 1799) against the king, the revolutionary
government started the metric system. Before that, every part of France had a different
system for measured cloth with one system. Jewelers used another system. Other
countries used other systems. The revolutionary government wanted one international
scientific system of measurement. They asked a group of scientists and mathematicians
to invent a system. The mathematicians and scientists decided to use the numbers ten,
hundred, and thousand for their system.
Next they had to decide on a “natural” length. They chose one ten- millionth
(1/10,000,000) of the distance from the Equator to the North Pole. They called this one
meter. Then they chose one gram for weighing things. A cubic centimeter of water

weighs one gram.
Mathematicians and scientists worked on these problems for twenty years until they
finally finished the complete system. The biggest problem was measuring the meter.
