Measuring+in+Your+Class




 * Measuring in Your Class** - Regardless of what area of science you teach, the four things that human beings measure the most are: **1) Length, 2) Time, 3) Temperature, and 4) Weight**.

Here are a few suggestions for your class: 1) Any ruler will do, here is are some free online rulers that you can print out for your class. 2) We really like the MyChron Stopwatch (pictured above) from Stoles Publishing for timing in elementary classe. It is easy to use and tough to break. 3) To measure weight you may want to consider this low cost digital scale, this particular Model is called the US-Magnum-1000XR and is sold by Amazon among other places. 4) Usually at any hardware store you can purchase a large, easy to read thermometer. If you can mount this outside your class to record the temperature at different times of the day and year, this will help students learn change over time.
