I used meter, yard, and inch.
Metron is Greek for Meter which means measure. It is 39.37 inches in the us.

Gard is Dutch for yard and also means twig or rod. It is 0.9144 meters long according to my research

Uncia is Latin for inch. Unicia means twelfth part.
(twelve inches in a foot)

# data[].attributes.body
ton originated from the word tun which meant a cask of largest size, which when filled would weigh 2,000 pounds

foot originated in greece roman and english societies and (as the name suggests) foot was measured by the length of a human foot. This would vary in length by the base of the human "foot"

Gallon comes from galun, galon in old northern french,  jale in old french
and gęllet in Old English which meant bowl. The gallon began as the base of systems for measuring wine and beer in England. The wine measurement closest resembles the current US measurement for gallon at 231 cubic inches.

# data[].attributes.body
I researched inches feet and yards and were they originated.

INCH
An inch originated back to Latin when it was called uncia

Foot
The first foot came to in England. From the Belfic celts or the Anglo-Saxon. It was 13.2 inches long.(335 millimeters.)

Yard
The yard originated from England. It was 36 inches long. It was created in King Henry's rein.

# data[].attributes.body
Millimeter
Millimetre, 1802, from
French millimetre. A millimeter (mm) unit of length equal to one thousandth (10-³) of a meter (0.0394 inch). A unit of length in the metric system equal to 0.001 meter.

Centimeter
Centimetre, 1801, from French centimètre (18c.), coined from Latin centum "hundred". A unit of length equal to one hundredth (10-²) of a meter.also centimetre, 1801, from French centimètre (18c.), coined from Latin centum "hundred" (see hundred) + French mètre . A unit of length equal to one hundredth (10-²) of a meter.

Inch
An inch is a unit of British Imperial and United States Customary measure equal to ¹/₃₆ of a yard. The unit derives from the Old English ince, or ynce, which in turn came from the Latin unit uncia, which was “one-twelfth” of a Roman foot, or pes.

# data[].attributes.body
The three units of measurement are: gallon, foot, and kilometer.
_______________________________________________________
Kilometer-It's an official unit of measurement for length and it is equal to 1,000 meters. It originated in France at the beginning of the 19th century, but it was very rarely used. It become official in 1935.
Foot-Foot is an official measurement for length and it is equal to 12 inches. It has been used by Greeks and Romans in late BC. Back then depending on where you lived foot was a different length.
Gallon- Gallon is one of the official units of measurements for liquids. It is 3.785412 liters. The original source of the word is unknown but French and English used it. English used gallons to measure beer and wine.
_______________________________________________________

# data[].attributes.body
Pounds: The latin word for scales/balance, or known as the libra, is an ancient roman unit that was equivalent to 328.9 grams.
Ounces: This comes from a latin unit that was 1/12 of the roman pound or libra.
Tons: The word ton comes from the ancient greek words tuna fish.

# data[].attributes.body
Three units I decided to research pints, quarts  and gallons.

Pints:
Pints comes from the Old French word pinte and perhaps ultimately from Latin picta meaning "painted", for a line painted on the side of a glass marking a one-pint volume of ale.

Quarts:
A unit of liquid capacity equal to a quarter of a gallon or two pints equivalent to the US to approximately 0.94 liter and in Britain to approximately 1.13 liters.

Gallons:
Origin of Gal, Meaning of Gal. Origin: Galli is an Italian word meaning 'roosters'. In ancient Roman times, Gaul was a name of a province consisting of present-day France, Belgium, and Switzerland. The Latin name for Gaul was Gallia, literally meaning 'land of the Galli'

# data[].attributes.body
The measurements I chose are all measurements of capacity, the measurements are:

1. Pint
2. Fluid Ounce
3. Gallon
__________________________

Pint:

The measurement of pints was derived from around 1707 as the British wine gallon for its basic liquid measure, but was the British corn gallon for its dry measurement. It has since been changed throughout the years in different countries.

__________________________

Fluid Ounce:

The fluid ounce was originally the volume occupied by one ounce of some substance in different countries, and has since been changed in value and other types of ways.

__________________________

Gallon:

The origin of the word gallon is suggested to come from Romance Latin. It was originally used to measure wine and beer in England using two types of gallons, the wine gallon has been the common used gallon since the 19th century though.

# data[].attributes.body
I've come to talk with you again.

# data[].attributes.body
The three types of measurement I researched were ounces, inches, and yards.
OUNCES
It is from the latin word uncia meaning a twelfth as there were 12 ounces in the now obsolete troy pound. There are of course 16 ounces in the avoirdupois pound we use today.
INCHES
The word inch came from the Latin word uncio, meaning one twelfth. After all an inch is one twelfth of a foot.
YARDS
The word yard comes from Anglo-Saxon and middle English words meaning a rod, a staff, a yard measure. The yard, like the foot and inch, is a fairly ancient unit. It was originaly from the distance from the base of a mans neck to the tips of his fingers.

# data[].attributes.body
The three units of measurement I have chosen are as follows:
1. Ounce
2. Yard
3. Pound
Ounce
The word ounce describes a unit of measurement that is one 16th of a pound. The word derives from the Latin word uncia, which was a unit of measurement that was one 12th of a Roman Pound.
Yard
A yard is a unit of length that is 3 feet long. Most football fields are measured in this unit. the word yard comes from the Old English terms gyrd and gerd. these words were used to describe branches, staves (staffs) and measuring rods.
Ton

The word ton describes a unit of measurement equal to 2,000lbs. The word derived from the word tun, which describes a cask of the largest size. the original Greek term was thunnos, meaning tuna fish

# data[].attributes.body
The three units I looked up were cups,quarts,and gallons.
The measurement cup originated as an English unit of volume.
The measurement quart comes from the Latin word quartus meaning one fourth.
A gallon originates from England. An English gallon is different from an American gallon.

# data[].attributes.body
I researched Greek units of measurment that dates back to 500 BC.
INCH: In Greece, the term for inch was dakylos. This is equal to a digit of your finger. Or, 19.3 mm.
FOOT: In Greece the term for foot was pous. This was equal to 16 daktyloi. A daktyloi is equal to a digit of your finger. So, afoot would be 16 digits of your finger.Or, 308.2 mm.
CUBIT: A cubit in Greece terms is pechys. This was equal to 24 daktyloi. So, a cubit would be 24 digits of your finger. Or, 462.3 mm

# data[].attributes.body
The three types of measurement I researched were, milliliters, liters, and ounces.

Milliliters
A milliliter is a unit of capacity equal to one thousanth of a liter and it is equal to 0.033815 fluid ounce, and 0.061025 of a cubic inch.
Origin- French.

Ounces
A ounce is a unit of weight equal to 1/16 of a pound.
Origin- Middle English, Middle French, and Latin.

Liters
A liter is a unit of capacity equal to one cubic decimeter. It's equal to 1.0567 U.S. liquid quarts and is equal to the volume of one kilogram of distilled water at 4 C.
Origin- Medival Latin, French, and Greek.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm doing inches miles and grams for my research
INCH
The word inch is a Latin word, inch is a cognate with ounce it also means thumb. A  inch is the same size as a average man's thumb.
MILES
The mile was originated by the Romans which means thousand paces. A mile is 5,280 feet.
GRAMS
The word gram was invented by the Romans which means gramme.A gram is 0.0353 of an ounce.

# data[].attributes.body
I searched up Roman units of measurement that dates back to the 1600s. I searched, inch, foot, and cubits.

INCH: In Roman times the English word "inch" originates from the word "Uncia." This measurement is equivalent to 24.6 millimeters. The word "Pollex" is the same length on the measurement scale but it means "thumb"

FOOT: The word "foot" goes all the way back to the ancient times in Rome. The Roman word "pes" is equivalent to our English word "foot" which is approximately 296 millimeters.

CUBIT: Cubit originates from the Roman word "cubitus." One cubitus is equivalent to one and a half of a pes or foot. One Cubitus is approximately 444 millimeters.

# data[].attributes.body
The 3 measurement units
that I am researching about are liters, gallons, and teaspoons.
____________________________
liters: The litre was introduced in France in 1795
as one of the new "republican units of measurement" and defined as one cubic decimetre.

gallons: The term derives most immediately from galun, galon in Old Northern French. The gallon originated as the base of systems for measuring wine, and beer in England.

teaspoons: As an unofficial but once widely used unit of Apothecaries' measure, the teaspoon is equal to 1 fluid dram (or drachm) and thus 1/4 of a tablespoon or 1/8 of a fluid ounce. The teaspoon was used when tea-drinking was first introduced to England around 1660.

# data[].attributes.body
I am researching ounces,pounds, and,tons.

OUNCES:
Ounces are a measurement of mass.Ounces come from the Latin.Also it is a 1/2 of a roman pound.
FUN FACT:
Ounces are in most British measurement systems!
POUNDS:
Pounds are a unit of mass.Romans created pounds from the German and Latin word lībra pondō.
TON:
Tons are a measurement of mass.It cam from ancient Greece from the word ton.

# data[].attributes.body
The three measurements
I'll be researching about are foot, centimeter, and minute.
_________________---------------
foot

The word originated from the Roman term "pes" , which was the Roman foot,. It was first used as to measure statues.
-----------------------_________---_
centimeter
The prefix -centi was latin for   centum, or hundred. actual centimeters, hoever ever, were used in 1795. they were used like modern centimeters, to meseare anything.
___________________-------____--
minute
This latin for minuta prima, meaning one small part. The reason why there are 60 minutes in a hour and etc. is because the Babylonians separated time into sixty parts and separated the day into 4 hours. Therefore, minutes were technically used in Babylonian times

# data[].attributes.body
During the French Revolution, scientists in France devised a standard system of measurement of length, volume, and weight to facilitate trade.
The term ''meter'' was defined as 1/10000000 (ten millionth) of the distance from the North Pole to the Equator along a meridian running through Paris. One - tenth of this distance was physically surveyed between Dunkirk and Barcelona.
These scientists decided to follow the decimal system introduced in Europe by the Arabs, who in turn learnt it from the civilization of India. They decided to have base units of 10, 100, 1000, etc.
The prefix ''centi'' was derived from Latin word Centum, meaning 100, and thus one - hundredth  of a meter makes a centimeter.
The prefix ''kilo'' was taken from Greek meaning thousand and thus, thousand meters make a kilometer.
This is the history of the metric system!

# data[].attributes.body
I will be researching three units of weight.
Pounds, ounces, and tons.

Pounds:   The word "pound" originates from the Latin word poundus meaning weight which came from Rome. The pound was a unit of measurement since the Middle Ages. (The period between the 5th and 15th century.)

Ounces: "Ounce"  was a middle english word. It came from the Old French
word, "unce," which came from the Latin word, "uncia."  The word, "ounce," itself started being used during the Middle Ages. (The period between the 5th and 15th century.)

Tons: Tun is a Middle English word that is a variant form of the word "ton.'' Both spellings, "ton," and, "tun,'" refer to the meanings of both the container, and weight. The word, "ton," started being used around the Middle Ages. (The period between the 5th and 15th century.)

# data[].attributes.body
I will be researching 3
units of length.
1. Mile
2. Fathom
3. Furlong
-------------------------------------------
The word mile comes from the Latin word "Mille" which apparently means 1000. A mile is 5,280 ft.
__________________________
A fathom is equivalent to 2 yards. This word comes from the "Old English" as faedm or faethm.
=====================
Finally, we have the furlong. This word sounds weird. Fur-long??? Whatever. It comes from the old English name furh. It equals 220 yards. Well thanks for listening!!!

# data[].attributes.body
I will be researching ,kilometer, mile, and lightyear. These are all units of length.

Kilometer-Came from the word Kilometries "Kilo meaning 1,000". The word kilometries came from the French Republic but in the USA we pronounce it kilometer.

Mile- a mile is 5,280ft long and is also pronounced "Mille," the Latin word meaning 1,000.

Lightyear- A lightyear is about 5.9 billion miles long. It was discovered when scientist found a black hole and discovered more galaxies. Symbol-"ly."

# data[].attributes.body
The three measurements that i will be researching are mile, lightyear, and ton.
__________________________
Mile: The word mile originated from the Roman mille passus, or "thousand paces," which measured 5,000 Roman feet.

Lightyear: A lightyear is the distance traversed by light in one mean solar year,about  5.88 trillion mi. : used as a unit in measuring stellar distances.
(couldn't find where it originated)

Ton: The word ton comes from ancient Greece which is a unit of weight equal to 2,000 pounds.

# data[].attributes.body
I researched gram, mile, and lightyear.

Gram- The word "gram" came from Greek, (unknown name) into "gramma," from late Latin, to French "gramme," and then it was turned into gram in the late 18th century.

Mile- Mile started from the Roman "mille passus," a.k.a. thousand paces, of 5,000 Roman feet. During about 1500, the "Old London Mile" was measured as 8 furlongs. 1 furlong = 1/8 of a mile.

Lightyear- Lightyear, or light-year, is the distance that light travels in a year.
it first started in 1888, as light(n.)+year. It is equal to about 5.88 mi. Lightyears are used to measure astronomical (intergalactic) distances. For example, the closest star, Proxima Centauri, is 4.243 from our Sun.

# data[].attributes.body
The three measurements I will be doing are mile, yard and cubit. These are all related because they all deal with units of length.

MILE: The first one is mile. Mile is equivalent to 5280 feet. It comes from the latin word of mille meaning 1000. This is because the origination comes from Rome. A Roman Legion could run 2000 steps or 1000 paces. The Roman's mile was 1480 meters or rounded as we know today, a mile.

YARD: Yard originally is from England. It measures the tip of King Henry I's nose to the middle fingertip to his extended arm. This is how yard originated.

CUBIT: Cubit originated in Egypt from documents of pyramids. However the Greeks use it to measure the length of the forearm from the tip of the middle finger to end of the elbow.

# data[].attributes.body
The study of measurement dates back to
ancient civilizations such as Rome, Greece
and Babylonia.
Research the beginnings of three general
terms that are related to standard units of
capacity, weight or length. For example if
you choose to research three units of
length, you could research how the terms, “foot,” “inch”, and “yard” originated. Then show when and how each term began being used as a unit of measurement.
On your “sticky note” write down the three terms you’ve researched and a brief
explanation of how they originated as units
of measurement.
