Lesson: Measuring Masses Physics

In this lesson, we will learn how to correctly use digital weighing scales to measure the mass of liquids and solids.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

state which objects or instruments can be used to accurately measure masses (a weighing scale),
recall that all weighing scales actually measure the weight of an object, and it is from this that the mass is calculated,
recall that a Newton meter can be used to measure forces, including the weight of an object,
use a weighing scale correctly to measure the mass of a liquid or solid,
identify when a weighing scale has been used incorrectly to measure a mass and how.
