Triple Beam Balance
A triple beam balance is a weight measuring tool that uses grams. To measure using this tool, you must first put he item on the weight. After that you measure the hundreds until the 0 goes under. You move it back one and do the same with the tens. Then you carefully move the ones pointer until you get the pointer at 0. Add up the hundreds, tens, and ones and you have the amount of grams.
Microscope
A microscope is a tool that allows you to see things that you cannot see with the naked eye. There are 3 lenses in a microscope: the low power lens, the medium power lens, and the high power lens. The low power lens magnifies objects to 40x their regular size. The medium power lens magnifies 100x and the high power makes it 400x the original size! There are 2 knobs to focus the objects, the coarse adjustment knob and the fine adjustment knob. The coarse is for low and medium power while the fine is for high power.
Globe
A globe is a tool meant for studying the world and finding out where a certain place is. The globe also shows longitude and latitude lines, so you will also know the exact coordinates of any place in the world. The latitude lines are north and south of the equator, hence the lines N and S. The longitude lines are east and west of the prime meridian, standing up to the name W and E.
