Weights and Measures Part I
By Southwest Center for Microsystems Education
This YouTube video, created by Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME), is the first in a series of three videos created to educate viewers about weights and measures in the context of nanofabrication. This segment, which is 10:28 minutes long, covers the the history of units and systems of measurement through time, culminating with the SI (metric) universal system of measurement, which the scientific community uses today. Viewers can learn more about this topic on the SCME website.
Metric Unit Conversions - YourTeacher.com - Pre Algebra Help
By yourteachermathhelp
Students learn that in the metric system all measures of length are based on meters. For example a centimeter is 1/100 of a meter. And all measures of weight are based on grams. For example a kilogram is 1000 grams. And all measures of volume are based on liters. For example a milliliter is 1/1000 of a liter. Students are then asked to solve problems using conversion factors such as 4 500 milligrams = ____ grams.
