2.4 Units and Conversions | High School Chemistry

Chad provides a comprehensive lesson covering Units and Conversions. He begins by introducing the metric system and SI units. He then introduces conversions and dimensional analysis with an example from the U.S. Imperial System and then applies the same methods to conversions involving the metric system.

Chad then specifically covers conversions involving area and volume as this is where some of the most common conversion mistakes are made. Finally, he shows examples of conversions that involve both the U.S. Imperial and Metric systems and some standard calculations involving density.

I’ve created a high school chemistry page that organizes all my videos by chapter – just an easier way for you to watch my YouTube videos. Check it out at https://www.chadsprep.com/chads-high-school-chemistry-videos/
