Activity on Measurement

Children of Grade 1 were taken to the Physics Lab to understand Standards of Measurement on 24^th Sept, 2014.
They were shown a weighing Scale to know about measuring weight in grams and Kilograms.
A beaker with measurement was shown to help them to understand  that any form liquid can be measured to  understand  capacity  in liters and milliliters
A Spring Balance was shown which is used to measure the weight of things. It was explained that a bigger Spring Balance could be used to weigh the Luggage before boarding a flight.
A digital weighing scale was shown  which was identified easily by children as most of them had seen it in the supermarkets.
A long ruler was used to measure the length of the table and  height of children.
The rules of measurement too were reinforced – that always measurement should be taken from end to end, it should be measured in a straight line and body parts too can be used to measure.
