Even staunchly pro-imp people would recognise the strong link between metric and science. ________________________________ From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [USMA:47995] Science fair and the metric system Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2010 12:18:14 +1000 CC: [email protected] Dear All, This page: http://freelanceblogging.easyonlinejobsreview.com/the-scientific-process-for-science-fair-projects/ offers this good advice: One other note must be mentioned at this point, and that is that your project should be done using the metric system. Metric is the universal measurement system adopted by the scientific process.
