Abstract
This clip explains that what we generally refer to as metric units of weight are actually units of mass. The clip states that mass measures the amount of matter an object has, while weight measures the force of Earth's gravity on an object. The clip notes that, "...since we'll only measure objects on Earth, we'll use weight and mass interchangeably." The clip explains that the basic metric unit of mass is the gram, then lists the units smaller and larger than the gram.
