Name: Date: Period: Measurement Computer Lab: Triple Beam Balance, Graduated Cylinders, Metric Rulers & Line Graphs Part I: Reading a Triple Beam Balance (Mass). Go to http://www.wisc-online.com/objects/viewobject.aspx?id=gch202 and click on Next throughout the tutorial to answer the following questions 1. The Triple Beam balance measures the of an object. The common unit of measurement is the. 2. List the 6 main parts of a Triple Beam Balance. Auxiliary Weights are not part of the Balance.,,,, 3. A Triple Beam balance has beams. The highest beam has gram graduations, the middle beam has gram graduations and the front beam has gram graduations with grams in between. 4. Place your cursor over each beam to see what they look like. 5. A balance needs to be out. That means all the weights need to be moved to the left side of the beams and the pointer needs to be. If the pointer is not straight, you need to use the and adjust as you need to. 6. This is called Balancing the balance. The balance does not work properly if it is not balanced out. 7. When you balance has been adjusted, you may put the object you wish to mass on the pan and wait for the balance to settle. Move the 100gram weight to see if the object needs that much weight or more. Follow the instructions to find the mass of the object. 8. What is the mass of the object? grams 9. Notice how you add the numbers from each beam to get the total mass? (yes/no) 10. The triple beam balance is only accurate to of a gram. 11. Place the second object on the pan and follow the instructions to find the mass. You will start with the 100gram beam, then check answer by typing it in the box. Once it is approved, proceed to the 10 gram, type the number in and then proceed to the 1 gram beam. What is the mass of the second object? grams 12. Following the same procedure, find the mass of the rest of the objects. Remember, you add the 100gram amount, 10 gram amount and 1 gram amount to get the total mass. Also, remember you need to check the mass of each beam before they allow you to move onto the next beam. grams grams grams grams Part II: How to read a Graduated Cylinder (Volume).
