Exploring Volume Measurements: Cubic Centimeters and Milliliters

The video tutorial explains the concept of a cubic centimeter, a unit of volume where each edge of the cube is one centimeter long. It describes three ways to express cubic centimeters: spelled out, as 'cc', and as 'cm^3'. The video demonstrates the concept of volume using playdough and a syringe filled with colored water, showing that one cubic centimeter equals one milliliter. It highlights the importance of this unit in chemistry and demonstrates volume displacement using a graduated cylinder, reinforcing the one-to-one conversion between cubic centimeters and milliliters.
