Measuring Like Scientists: Fourth Graders Master Metric Tools in the Lab

Fourth-grade students are sharpening their measurement skills with hands-on practice in the science lab. Using tools that real scientists rely on, they measured length with rulers and meter sticks, determined mass with balance scales and triple beam balances, gauged volume with graduated cylinders, and took temperature readings with thermometers. Throughout their activities, students worked exclusively with the metric system, enhancing their understanding and accuracy in scientific measurement.
