Units are a major way we describe the world around us, and by looking at the scientists some of them are named after, we can get a sense of how we’ve learned so much about our universe.

Mr. Addit explains why it is so important to include the unit of measurement in all your measurements.

Mr. Addit describes the differences between the standard system of measurements and the metric system. He reviews the tools used to measure both distance and temperature in the metric system.

Measuring is a vital process in science, and it is a process all students can carry out. This program demonstrates many of the different ways measurement occurs in science including measuring length, mass, volume, and temperature....

Through colorful animations and common everyday examples, this video helps students learn how to measure length and temperature using the metric system. Both the Celsius and Kelvin temperature scales are explained in depth. Emphasis is...

This is a lecture video that explains the Kelvin scale and absolute zero, focusing on the lower limit of temperature scales and the scale that measures relative to this limit. The video starts by introducing the Celsius scale and its...

This video explores the daily condition of the Earth's atmosphere. The factors that influence the atmosphere and cause weather are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the global processes that generate weather patterns. Other...

Everyday we experience weather. This interesting series of programs helps students understand the factors that contribute to weather formation. Real-life examples enable students to appreciate the different aspects of weather....

This program introduces students to the usefulness and fun of the metric system. The concept of measurement as related to the metric system kicks off the video, followed by examples of how the metric system is used in science. Through a...

This program covers the very important topic of temperature. We discuss temperature scales and why temperature is important when discussing chemical reactions. We also discuss how to convert from one temperature scale to the other. The...

Upon viewing the Measuring video series, students will be able to do the following: Generally explain that the process of measuring involves making observations of things using tools. Understand that measurements often involve the use...
