4. Degrees Celsius (°C)

5. Taring

6. Triple-beam balance

7. Liquid-in-glass thermometer

8. Mass

9. Temperature

10. Bathroom scale

Part IV - Sample Answers:

1. I would fill a balloon with air and measure its mass using a balance. Then I would release
the air and measure the mass again. The difference in mass proves that the gas (air) has
mass.

2. Place the balance on a flat surface. Adjust to zero. Place the object gently on the pan. Move
the weights along the beams until the pointer is level. Add the values from each beam for
the total mass.
