For a more accurate and precise way to measure mass, a Digital Balance is used. This is the tool that we will be using in our class.



Grams will be our main measurement of mass in this class. Grams are much like ounces and pounds except it is the base unit of metric measurement. Below is a table to assist in the conversion of standard measurements to metric and vice-versa.

Below is a video on the proper process on using a digital balance and how to clean up after you are done using the tool.
