In this video, we break down the three major measurement systems used in everyday life and science: the Informal System, the English (Imperial) System, and the Metric System.

You’ll learn:

What the informal system is (pinch, handful, cup, etc.)

How the English/Imperial system works (feet, pounds, gallons)

Why chemistry uses the metric system (meters, grams, liters)

Why the metric system is easier for scientific calculations.
