pbskids.org/sid Teacher Susie sings about non-standard measurement in "A Pirate's Tale," featured in Sid the Science Kid episode "The Whale Episode." By using non-standard measurement, you can measure really big things and distances by using objects you wouldn't normally consider to be a ruler. Watch the music video to find out how a pirate managed to measure a big whale using his own ship!
