Measuring Things: the Basics David Strauch

This is the student's edition of a text, activities, and workbook for mostly middle school students. It's an introduction to metric prefixes-or a refresher course. Many students can learn from this book on their own. In addition to metrics, other measurements are explained: time, light, light-years, force, energy, power, pressure, computer bits and bytes, and electricity. A separate teacher's edition provides answers to the mostly multiple-choice questions and problems.
