1. Imperial and metric units: mostly we measure things in metric units such as grams and kilograms or millilitres and litres. However, some things are still referred to in imperial units such as pounds and stones or pints and gallons. Have a look at food packages, cartons and bottles at home and at the supermarket to see whether you can find food items with both measurements on. Record your data in the table below.
