Inscription (front/en devant) Main Street of Banff with Mt. Norguay in the background/When temperatures are given in/C (degrees Celsius)/...and when the weatherman promises a 27 weekend, don't rush/for your skis. Summer has arrived. Along Main Street, Banff,/and everywhere else in Canada./Yes, after the familiar Fahrenheit scale. Celsius is going to take a little/getting used to. At first, anyway. But temperatures in degrees Celsius/(pronounced "Sell-see-us") are much more convenient./Now, the freezing point of water is 0 C not 32 F. Boiling point is/100 C, not 212 F. Just 100 simple divisions to thick about instead/of Fahrenheit's 180./SI is the short term for the new international language of metric, /"Système International". In SI, many units of measurement are names/after the men of science who invented them. It was Anders Celsius, a/Swedish astronomer, who gave the world the centigrade scale as long/ago as 1742. Now he will always be remembered./The old word centigrade was used to describe small angles as well as/temperature-so it was confusing. But no more. Thanks to SI and use/of the Celsius scale, everything's simpler./To help you learn the new unit of temperature-and to "think Celsius"/not Fahrenheit-begin imagining 30 C as very hot, 20 C as a mild/spring day, and 10 C as a warm winter's day./That's right...10 C is the same as 20 F...but "think" in terms of the/new unit, Celsius. Forget Fahrenheit./"Thinking" metric, rather than converting back and forth, is the key to/it all./Metric Poster Compliments of TORONTO-DOMINION BANK/PRINTED IN CANADA
