"Metrology and Me: Measurements in Daily Life" with Elizabeth Benham. Ever wondered how scientists, engineers, doctors and even chefs know their measurements are “just right”? Welcome to Metrology — the science of measurement. Measurements are all around us, from cooking recipes to building bridges, yet we rarely stop to think about their importance.
Join Elizabeth Benham, physical scientists, for this fun, hands-on activity, to step into the role of a metrologist and explore the International System of Units (SI), also known as the metric system. Participants will measure liquids using milliliters (mL), practice estimating and calculating volumes, and see how accurate measurements help the world work safely.
