■Class discussion: Which temperature scale would you rather use? Would you stick with Fahrenheit because it is familiar? Or, does the Celsius scale seem more logical and compatible with a metric system based on multiples of 10? Why should a temperature scale be based on the freezing and boiling points of water? Why do we use multiples of 10 in our decimal number system? Why divide time into 60-second minutes, 60-minute hours and 24-hour days? Would you ever change that into a decimal system?
