A great online tutorial for triple beam balance users

The Ohaus Company offers a great online tutorial to help kids learn to use a triple beam balance. The tutorial can be found here. Click on the triple beam balance link to get to the tutorial. I begin my lessons with the tutorial and then have students mass a variety of objects found in the classroom. You'd be surprised at just how heavy some of the shoes the kids wear are!

    Brings back memories of science in high school. Triple beam balances are cool to use.
