Parts of the Balance 1)FRAME 6) BALANCE POINT 5) BEAM4) WEIGHT 3) PAN 2) ZERO KNOB 7) BRAKE

1) The values of the three weights are: 100 g, 10 g, and 1g 2) What is the most weight this balance can hold? 610 g

What is the smallest weight measured on this balance?.1 g

Describe how to carry the balance : 2 hands at all times!

What is the correct “put-away” position for the balance? Largest mass at “500” spot

When weighing chemicals the pan must be covered. Be sure to subtract the mass of the paper from the total weight.

List the steps for proper set up and use of the balance: a.Put all weights at zero b.Zero the balance c.Put object on pan d.Move 100 g weight e.Move 10 g weight f.Move 1 g weight g.Add all 3 beams together h.Label your # (grams)
