Search the Internet to locate a conversion chart to help you convert the measurements. You can also search the Internet to locate a recipe. Guidelines: Include the title. Include the original recipe with the US customary unit of measurements. Include the recipe with converted measurements. Include a sheet that shows your conversion calculations. Use a recipe that has at least ten ingredients. For extra credit you can make the dish, take a picture or video of it, and submit that to your teacher. Your project should be: well-organized contain appropriate language contain proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling contain information from credible sources.
