A great video for getting an understanding of the various prefixes for units of measure is titled "powers of 10" by ray and Charles Eames. It is available for $50.00 or so. It gives a look at a square meter on a picnic blanket and then zooms out by one power of 10 each 10 seconds. within a few powers of 10 you are viewing the entire earth then its orbit around the sun then the entire solar system, the galaxy etc. It then zooms in on the scene starting again with the person on the picnic blanket then the hand then the cells, atoms, nucleus ... A great visual journey....in a film that is only about 25 minutes long. bruce esser the only thing wrong marian high school with .sig files physics department is you should have besser@bluejay.creighton.edu something witty to say
