Who drank more? A:1500 mL = 1.5 L 4)Your friend tells you that his 20 year old brother is 99mm tall. Do you believe him? A: 99 mm = 9.9 cm =.099 m

Assignment Title: Scientific Instruments This entire handout is worth 20 points. The first ½ of the front page is a direction instruction. The rest of the handout (including the back), you will complete on your own. The assignment is due TOMORROW at the BEGINNING of class. If you finish it TODAY in class, you don’t have HW tonight.

Name: Triple Beam Balance Purpose: Find mass Name: Ruler (meterstick) Purpose: Find length Name: Stopwatch Purpose: Find time

Name: Graduated Cylinder Purpose: Find volume Key Term: Meniscus

* Meniscus = the little dip in the liquid level

Name: Beaker Purpose: Find volume Name: Newton’s Spring Scale Purpose: Find weight (in NEWTONS)

IP: The rest of the worksheet STATIONS -Let’s read the directions together. -RULES: -There are multiple instruments at each station. Use them as I showed you in class. -There are more people than stations. If Station 1 is crazy crowded, go to another station or answer the review questions first. -BE RESPECTFUL.

IP: The rest of the worksheet DUE TOMORROW. – Finished? Place it in the box. – Not finished? Finish up for homework! Place it in the box as you walk in tomorrow.

Closing What instrument would I use to find the mass of a pencil? What is your homework tonight? What if I finished the worksheet?

What’s your HOMEWORK TONIGHT? Finish up that handout! MAKE SURE TO ANSWER EVERY QUESTION.
