Description: The Measurement League: Guardians of the SI comic book-style video animation series has been developed to help middle school students learn about the 7 SI (International System of Units, commonly known as the metric system) base measurement units. The Measurement League are superheroes dedicated to the fight against uncertainty, imprecision, and inaccuracy and to improving the quality of our lives and the things we build. These companion coloring sheets represent the 7 superhero characters along with their supervillain nemesis and provide an opportunity to put the "A" in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) by employing an interdisciplinary approach when teaching the SI. Videos are available on the NIST YouTube Channel and Education page.
Teaching tips:
  • 5 to 30 minutes teaching time
  • The metric system comes to life with this fun set of SI Superhero coloring pages.
  • Students can relate to these characters, making abstract measurement concepts more concrete and easier to remember.
