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
