an instrument used to measure mass
- Amount of matter in an object
-Measure of the pull of gravity
on an object
1. Transporting and storing the balance
Always use 2 hands ; do not allow pan to move
Store with all mass all the way to the left
2. Zero the balance
Slide all masses to left
Adjust thumbscrew until arrow stays on zero line
3. Placing object on pan
GENTLY!! There should be no sound.
Never press on the pan with your hand.
4. Determine measurement
Slide large mass one at a time until it “bottoms over”, then move it BACK one
Slide medium mass one at a time until it“bottoms over”, then move it BACK one
Slide small mass at little at a time until it balances
Add all 3 measurements for mass in grams
