  1. Six Rules of the Triple Beam Balance

  2. 1. Beam must be level to start

  3. 2. Slide all masses to the zero position

  4. 3. Use the threaded knob on the left to line up the fixed line on the right with the line on the movable arm

  5. 4. Place object on the center of the platform

  6. 5. Move the masses until it balances on the zero

  7. 6. Mass is the sum of the readings on the three beams

  8. Mass is: • A measure of the amount of matter

  9. Question • How is mass measured?

  10. If you use a (what tool), then you can measure mass in (what metric unit).

  11. Controls • Follow the rules of the triple beam balance.

  12. Objects • Clothespin • Sharpie • Hockey puck • Small beaker • Plastic cup • 10 marbles in plastic cup

  13. Objects • Large bolt • Battery • Scissors • Timer • Paper-hole puncher • Stapler

  14. Add a column in front of object on the data table • My estimate was: • RO = Right On • L = Low • H = High
