Well, the picture above pretty much says it all! Above is the metric "ladder method" that allows students to convert to either smaller or larger units. One thing not listed are the three metric base units: meter, liter, gram.
We did watch the brainpop.com video over metric units. The movie gave us a mneumonic device to remember the metric unit names in order from largest to smallest.
