Hey guys, this is a good website that takes you through unit conversion step by step. http://chartsgraphsdiagrams.com/miscellaneous/unit-conversions.html

  1. Thanks JC. I found some very good problems to work out that helped me practice at http://chemistry.about.com/library/met2eng.pdf
    I also found some conversion charts to help me with these problems at http://www.france-property-and-information.com/metric_conversion_table.htm
    I hope that these help everyone as well as it helped me.

  2. Here's an entertaining video that breaks down how to set up a conversion and where to put the different values. He only does one-step conversions, but to go from inches to kilometers, for example, you would just continue multiplying before the equal sign until you had made the right number of steps to achieve kilometers.

  3. Thanks Jc. I watched the video Michael! I still found Dr. Bautista's chart easier to follow and set up. http://www.onlineconversion.com/ is a fun and cool site where you can find online conversions for anything. Velocity, radiation, speed, force and more conversion charts can be found there . Check out the Miscellaneous section at http://www.onlineconversion.com/misc.htm

  4. Thank you JC. That's a very helpful website you mentioned. It makes things a lot easier! If anyone is interested, http://www.asknumbers.com is a great online conversion website that is easy to work with and even converts stuff like clothing sizes, currency, viscosity, and radiation!

  5. Hey everyone I found an awesome calculator that will convert length, area, volume, weight, mass, temperature, and time.

    I also found a YouTube video on unit conversions. It's pretty awesome, hope you like it.

  6. Hey guys, here's a good video that walks you through dimensional analysis to convert things. It's very helpful and would be a very good thing to watch if you don't understand how to do dimensional analysis.

  7. Thanks for the website, JC. It helped me understand Dr. Bautista's conversion set up. If anyone ever wants to practice converting volume from English to SI, try using cook books. It helped me when I first needed to practice conversions in middle school.

  8. Thanks to everyone that has posted thus far. I found a nifty PDF that goes through the steps for converting units and for converting rates. It's simple to understand, as it appears to be from a middle school chemistry book. There are also some practice problems if you feel inclined to do them.

  9. Thanks JC; I found another walk-through here http://www.alysion.org/dimensional/fun.htm
    Example 6 is really good because it deals an everyday item, so it might be easier to relate to and understand. It also has a summary and some more complicated examples.
    I also suggest http://www.digitaldutch.com/unitconverter/ as unit converter- it's easy and has tons of units for everything.

  10. Dear fellow students, here's a site I found pretty helpful with converting units. It's pretty short and sweet, but by the end I think you'll be able to catch on to what it's saying.

  13. Good post JC. I found this video helpful with Dimensional Analysis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ3J60GYo6U I thought it was a good explanation and picks up around 2 minutes in.

  14. That's a good website JC. I found this video on converting units the way that Dr. Bautista does. It is boring, but it is very clear and informative.
