Understanding Units of Measure and the SI System

The video tutorial introduces the concept of measurement in science, explaining it as the assignment of numerical values to physical properties. It discusses the importance of units of measure, focusing on the SI system, which is widely used by scientists. The tutorial covers fundamental physical properties like mass, length, temperature, and time, and explains the difference between base and derived units. Examples, such as calculating area in meters squared, are provided to illustrate these concepts. The video concludes with a brief overview of important derived units relevant for the TEAS exam.
