Measuring Volume in the Metric System

Miss Wilson reviews volume measurement using the metric system, focusing on liters and milliliters. She explains the use of a graduated cylinder, compares metric and English systems, and discusses volume calculation for solids and irregular shapes using water displacement. The video aims to help students who missed class or need extra review.
