Instructional Ideas

• Post the metric prefixes on the board for viewers to reference
• Use the video to introduce metric units of volume

Classroom Considerations

• Be aware that the video introduces scientific terms that may not be developmentally appropriate (chromatography, PCR, eletrophoresis, etc.)

• This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

• Uses the same staircase model as in previous video so viewers can hopefully see a pattern

Cons

• Inconsistent use of abbreviations for liters (l or L)
• Video only describes dekaliters and hectoliters as 10 one-liter bottles and 100 one-liter bottles rather than identifying new objects
