Tools of Physics Today we’re going to be doing a lab on metric measurement. There are 5 stations. At each station is a slip of paper. Answer the questions on the slip for each station. This is a lab, so please write it up nice and neat on a write up sheet. Also, note that we don’t need to have every section of our write up. We’ll quickly discuss which sections aren’t necessary!
