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.
