= = =My Metric Time System: The Mekyon System!= Seriously, this is good enough to become the real time system.

Days and years are the same length, as years depend on the earth orbiting around the sun and days depend on the earths rotation. However, they are now divided into tenths, rather than 365ths, 24ths, and 60ths.

Second = millimek 1 min 26.4 sec 1/10 centimek

Minute = centimek 14 min 24 sec 1/10 decimek

Hour = decimek 2 h 24 min 1/10 mek

Day = mek 24 hours 1 mek

Week = decamek 10 day 10 meks

Month = decilon 1/10 year 3 decameks or 1/10 lon

Year = Lon 365 days 1 lon

Decade = decalon 10 years 10 lons

Century = hectolon 100 years 100 lons

=SCIENCE PARAGRAPH AND QUIZ=

Safety in the lab is very important. In fact, it could save your life! Here are some pointers for a safe lab.
 * Do not leave backpacks and/or other bags lying around on the ground. Someone could trip.
 * __Always__ wear closed-toe shoes while in the lab
 * When handling chemicals, always wear gloves.
 * Use safety goggles whenever you are performing any kind of experiment. Prescription glasses DO NOT COUNT
 * Never put containers, beakers, trays or any other kind of containers on the edge of counters.
 * Make sure all Bunsen burners and any other electronics are turned off before leaving the lab, or if you aren’t using them
