WORKSHEET: Measurement in Physics
A. Identity
• Subject : Science (Physics)
• Grade / Semester : 7 / 1
• Topic : Measurement
• Measuring Tools : Ruler, Vernier Caliper, Micrometer Screw Gauge, Triple Beam Balance
B. Learning Objectives
1. Students can use various measuring tools correctly.
2. Students can compare the accuracy of ruler, vernier caliper, micrometer screw gauge, and triple
beam balance.
3. Students understand the importance of choosing the right measuring tool.
C. Tools and Materials
• Ruler
• Vernier Caliper
• Micrometer Screw Gauge
• Triple Beam Balance
• Objects to measure: marble, marker, coin, eraser etc
D. Theory
• Ruler → measures length, accuracy up to 1 mm.
• Vernier Caliper → measures length/diameter/thickness, accuracy up to 0.1 mm.
• Micrometer Screw Gauge → measures small diameters, accuracy up to 0.01 mm.
• Triple Beam Balance → measures mass with accuracy up to 0.1 g.

G. Questions
1. Compare the accuracy of ruler, vernier caliper, and micrometer screw gauge. Which one is the
most accurate?
2. Why is it better to measure the diameter of a coin using a micrometer screw gauge instead of a
ruler?
3. What is the main difference between the functions of vernier caliper and micrometer screw
gauge?
4. How do you ensure that the triple beam balance is ready before measurement?
5. Why is it important to choose the right measuring tool in science experiments?
H. Conclusion
(Write your conclusion based on the results of the experiment.)
