Standard Units of Measure | Cyberchase
From this Cyberchase video, students will learn about the importance of standardizing units of measure. The squad is in a hurry to complete a recipe, so Matt measures sloppily with a cup marked "one cybercup." However, when he fills the cup with different amounts each time, Jackie points out that the amounts are unequal. The squad concludes that in order to use a standard unit of measure effectively, you must fill the container completely (but no more and no less) each time.
