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 measurements, 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 measurements, especially if they are used incorrectly.
- Measuring instruments often need to be calibrated before use to prevent a zero error giving inaccurate readings or measurements.

- Ammeter
- Burette
- Datalogger
- Geiger Counter
- Joulemeter
- Luxmeter
- Measuring Cylinder
- Measuring Scale
- Newton Meter
- Oscilloscope
- pHmeter
- Pipette
- Protractor
- Ruler
- Syringe
