We use a pan balance scale to weigh items. We

put the item on one side of the scale and measuring weights on the

other side to find the item’s weight.

We use a spring scale to weigh

items. We put the item on the hook

and the item’s weight pulls the

spring to show its weight.

We use a thermometer to test temperature.

We can read a thermometer in

Celsius and Fahrenheit.

We use a stop watch to time

something short term. A stop watch

can tell us how many seconds,

minutes, and hours have passed.

Metric Ruler

We use a metric ruler to measure the length of an item in metric~

cm/mm/m or standard form~

inches/feet.

We use a microscope to

look at microscopic items that you

can’t see with just your eyes. The

microscope magnifies the

object.

We use beakers to measure

liquid. Beakers are made out of glass material

and can be heated.

Wind Vane

We use a wind vane to tell us

from which direction the wind

is blowing.North, East, South, West

Graduated Cylinders

We use graduated cylinders measure liquids.

Rain Gauge

We use a rain gauge to

measure how much rain fell to

the earth.

We use measuring cups to measure

and convert measurements of liquids and pour them into other

containers through the spout.

We use measuring spoons to

measure small amounts of liquids

or solids.

Hot Plate

We use a Hot Plate to heat up materials for a

science investigations.

Camera

We use a camera to

take pictures of our

experiments.

Computer

We use petri dishes to place material in that

we want to observe

overtime and close the lids.

We use eyedroppers to draw/suck

liquid material up.

We use hand lens to magnify

material that we CAN see

with the naked eye.

Compass

We use a compass to help us tell

which direction we are going. North, East,

South , West

Collecting Net

We use a collecting net to help aid in

collecting insects and

sometimes fish.

Safety Goggles

We use safety goggles to protect our

eyes.

Sound Recorder

We use sound recorder to

tape things we hear or say during labs.

Magnet

We use magnets to help us hold

things.

Science Journal

We use science journals to

journal about our experiments

and reflect on what we learned.

Gloves

We use gloves to protect our

hands.

Earth, Sun, Moon, System Model

We use an earth, sun, moon,

system model to demonstrate how

the moon orbits the earth and the earth

orbits the sun.
