Answer to Question 1

Many states now post highway mile marker and distance signs in both U.S.
Customary and metric units. Many outdoor signs which display temperature, such as
on a bank, give the temperature in both F and C. Suggest that your students look at
the sides of canned goods or commercially packaged dry goods in the grocery store
for metric equivalents. Medications are frequently dosed in grams or milliliters per
pound of weight or as a function of age (children's medication). Your students can
help you make a metric bulletin board by bringing in can labels, empty boxes, and
other materials which have metric units of measurement printed on them.

Answer to Question 2

Encourage the students to go to the library, an encyclopedia, or another source for
agricultural information in the United States and overseas. Students should consider
crop yields (how are these measured in different countries?), fuel costs (cost/unit in
different countries), fertilizer/chemical costs, weather, and any other factor that can
be measured using metric units in formulating their opinion.
