You could look at the lede picture in the Wikipedia article "Metric system" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_system. The articles in that picture are as everyday as possible.

This is the reason why I'm not a huge fan of tying metric exclusively to science. It takes metric out of the domain of the everyday Joe, making it appear as something for specialists only. Case in point here. The award, as bizarre as it is, in the US where metric is seen as a system used exclusively by few professions, makes absolute sense.
