We will address those issues as we see them come up. I totally agree that consistency with the metric system should be used throughout. I will look through the experimental design documents and fix those. Please give the worksheet title if you find something that is incorrect since it can speed up the process for making corrections.

Please- science uses the metric system. Centimeters are used later, but for the sake of consistency and proper terminology I sincerely hope this is the only time I see English measures.
Also, when writing numbers,the rule is for writing numbers less than ten, the numbers are written out as words, i.e. two, not 2. Obviously not in a data table, but I’m seeing improper writing.
