Let's Measure: Ounces, Pounds and Tons

Shows how Tommy and his friend answer the riddle of which weighs more, a pound of cotton or a pound of iron, by actually measuring out a pound of each. Explains the fact that weight has no relation to size and that weight units are often divided into smaller units. Mentions that ounces are fractions of pounds and pounds are parts of tons.
