METERSTICK

A meterstick or yardstick is either a

straightedge or foldable ruler used to
measure length, and is especially common
in the construction industry.
 SPRING BALANCE

A spring scale or spring balance or newton

meter is a type of mechanical force gauge
or weighing scale. It consists of
aspring fixed at one end with a hook to
attach an object at the other.
 VERNIER SCALE

A vernier scale is a visual aid to take an

accurate measurement reading between
two graduation markings on a linear scale
by using mechanical interpolation; thereby
increasing resolution and reducing
measurement uncertainty by using Vernier
acuity to reduce human estimation error.
 TAPE MEASURE

A tape measure or measuring tape is a

flexible ruler and used to measure distance.
It consists of a ribbon of cloth, plastic, fibre
glass, or metal strip with linear-
measurement markings. It is a common
measuring tool.
 WEIGHING SCALE

A weighing scale (or weighing balance) is a

device to measure weight or mass. These
are also known as mass scales, weight
scales, mass balance, weight balance, or
simply scale, balance, or balance scale.
The traditional scale consists of two plates
or bowls suspended at equal distances
from a fulcrum.
 THERMOMETER

A thermometer is a device that measures

temperature or a temperature gradient. A
thermometer has two important elements: a
temperature sensor in which some change
occurs with a change in temperature; and
some means of converting this change into
a numerical value.
 STOPWATCH

A stopwatch is a special watch with buttons

that start, stop, and then zero the hands,
used to time races.
 PROTRACTOR

A protractor is a measuring instrument,

typically made of transparent plastic or
glass, for measuring angles.
Most protractors measure angles in
degrees (°). Radian-
scale protractors measure angles in
radians. Most protractors are divided into
180 equal parts.
 RULER

A ruler, sometimes called a rule or line

gauge, is a device used in geometry and
technical drawing, as well as the
engineering and construction industries, to
measure or draw straight lines.
 GRADUATED CYLINDER

A graduated cylinder, measuring cylinder or

mixing cylinder is a common piece of
laboratory equipment used to measure the
volume of a liquid. It has a narrow
cylindrical shape. Each marked line on the
graduated cylinder represents the amount
of liquid that has been measured.
