Measures Lab

 Students of all ages benefit fro a lab on measures.  You can add Thermometer Calibration and some lab techniques, too.  Basic tools include a 100 mL graduated cylinder, a ruler or meter stick, a thermometer, and a scale.  Triple beam scales are pricey.  I have one; however we use digital scales for labs.  Measures is a good lab to do the first day of class or lessons.

1. Basic Measures include length, volume, temperature, and mass.  

2. Measuring with Metric has a lesson, and more detailed measures, such as measuring volume by displacement and measuring with a triple beam scale.  

3. Penny Density lab compares the density of pre-1982 with post 1982 pennies.  If you have a large jar of pennies, there are still many older pennies in circulation.
