Sing along to the tune of 'Jingle Bells' as you learn your S.I. Prefixes
Introduction
… Have to sing my prefixes… until I know them all!
Chorus
Tera - ten to the twelve, giga to the nine
Mega is ten to the six - It's a million this time…
Oh!
Kilo is known to me, ten to power of three!!
Centi is to minus two and the milli minus three
Verse
Micro - minus six ..and the nano minus nine
The pico minus twelve - femto - minus sign…
fifteen represents the power of ten that's raised...
within the multiple you put instead of it
Replace it!
Chorus
Tera - T Giga - G
Mega – a big M
kilo - k and centi - c ...
and for micro that greek 'mu' (

Ooooh!

femto – f (that's small)
Have to sing my prefixes… until I know them all!
