[USMA:27406] presentation outline

presentation outline   Hi Mathew I have some ideas about your presentation outline. It would be good if you can show them a meter stick, if you can't tell them that the distance between a door knob and the floor is a meter.  A degrees C thermometer would be a good idea.  If you talk about weight tell them how many average sized apples are in a kg.  I feel they would need something they could see to get a picture in their minds eye.  I feel if you make it simple with things they can relate to as far as distance and weight people are a lot smarter than the anti metric people give them credit.  It would probably be a good thing to have a liter container with you and maybe compare it with a quart container so they can see the difference.  Hope that helps you Mat.
