Units of Measure: Scientific Measurements & SI System

From the ProEdify TEAS V prep course, this is part 1 of the lesson on units of measure.

In this introduction to scientific measurements and the SI system (système international), we discuss the scientific definition of a measurement, important SI units of measure and we break down the difference between base and derived quantities.
