Liter Cube
A cubic decimeter/cubic centimeter block illustrates the squaring and cubing of linear conversion factors.
This demo is usually used when derived units are being discussed at the beginning of an intro chemistry course. Allow about 5 minutes for this demo.
Linear conversion factors are squared for area conversions and cubed for volume conversions.
