Messing about with Measurement

Figuring out how stop watches work.

Experimenting with displacement to measure the volume of objects.
The term "graduated cylinder" gives us the giggles as we imagine the cylinder
wearing a cap and gown and collecting a diploma.

Using a triple beam balance to determine the mass of a can of glitter.

 

Measuring the length of the rug in centimeters, of course,
because that's what scientists use.
