Key Stage 3

Meaning

An electronic balance.

An electronic balance is a type of measuring scale used to measure the mass of an object.

About Electronic Balances

An electronic balance measures the mass in grams or kilograms.

Key Stage 4

Meaning

An electronic balance is a type of measuring scale used to measure the mass of an object.

About Electronic Balances

An electronic balance may measures the mass in kilograms, grams or milligrams.
To get an accurate reading from a electronic balance:
  • Place the electronic balance on a flat level surface.
  • Calibrate the electronic balance with a known mass. Make sure it reads zero when there is nothing on the balance.
