==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
'''Measuring instruments''' are any piece of scientific [[equipment]] used to [[measure]] something.
===About Measuring Instruments===
: Different '''measuring instruments''' are used to [[measure]] different physical quantities.
: '''Measuring instruments''' are not perfect and can give the wrong value for some [[measurement]]s, especially if they are used incorrectly.
==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Measuring instruments''' are any piece of scientific equipment used to [[measure]] a physical quantity.
===About Measuring Instruments===
: '''Measuring instruments''' are not perfect and can give the wrong value for some [[measurement]]s, especially if they are used incorrectly.
: '''Measuring instruments''' often need to be [[Calibration|calibrated]] before use to prevent a [[Zero Error|zero error]] giving [[Accuracy|inaccurate]] [[reading]]s or [[measurement]]s.
Some '''measuring instruments''' you should know:
*[[Ammeter]]
*[[Burette]]
*[[Datalogger]]
*[[Geiger Counter]]
*[[Joulemetre]]
*[[Luxmetre]]
*[[Measuring Cylinder]]
*[[Measuring Scale]]
**[[Electronic Balance]]
**[[Weighing Scale]]
*[[Newton Meter]]
*[[Oscilloscope]]
*[[pHmetre]]
*[[Pipette]]
*[[Protractor]]
*[[Ruler]]
*[[Syringe]]
*[[Thermometer]]
**[[Infra-red Thermometer]]
*[[Timer|Stopwatch]]
*[[Voltmeter]]
