To find out how far it is from one spot to another, you measure the distance with a ruler. To know how heavy a suitcase is, you measure its weight on a scale. To find out how long it takes to walk to school, you measure the time with a cock or watch. Every day, in cooking or shopping, building things or planning trips, we use some form of measuring.
SIZE, DISTANCE, WEIGHT: A First Look at Measuring tells the story of the many different ways we measure, how and why we measure, and the tools we use. Here is a full and accurate explanation of the basic concepts and methods used in measuring distance, weight, volume, time and heat. Meters, special measures and the metric system are also explained.
