Metric Units - Mneumonics in Table (Core) to Missing Prefix (Level 1)

This topic involves practicing with metric units, specifically focusing on understanding and recalling metric prefixes using a mnemonic device, "King Henry Died by Drinking Chocolate Milk." This mnemonic assists in learning the order and magnitude of metric units ranging from kilo (1000) to milli (0.001). Students are required to identify missing metric prefixes depicted in table-form within multiple questions, enhancing their understanding of the relative sizes of these units and their application in measurement.
