Metric Conversions: Converting Between Metric Units

The video tutorial explores the metric system's ability to convert between volume and mass. It begins by calculating the volume of a small cube using its dimensions. The tutorial then explains that 1 milliliter of water occupies 1 cubic centimeter and has a mass of 1 gram. This relationship is extended to 37 milliliters of water, which has a volume of 37 cubic centimeters and a mass of 37 grams. The concept of density is introduced, defined as mass divided by volume, with water having a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter. Objects with a density greater than 1 gram per cubic centimeter sink, while those with less float.
