Units

This video does a great job discussing units in the context of multiple physical science concepts learned in this class.

Scientific notation

This video is about how to converse in scientific notation.

Slopes and plotting

This is a good introduction to slopes and plotting

This video goes through plotting scatter plots in excel, in quite some detail.

This site contains useful sample problems on slopes
