In this lesson, you will learn the units of the metric system and how the metric system is organized. We will learn the units of length (meters, centimeters, kilometers), units of volume (liter, milliliters), and units of mass (grams, kilograms). Once we understand the metric prefixes and how they work, it is easy to know how these units relate to each other. Using these conversion factors, we will convert from one unit into another unit using dimensional analysis. Dimensional analysis is used for unit conversions, but it is also used in physics, chemistry, engineering, and math to solve more complex problems.
