💭 Part 5: Reflection and Communication

11. Why is it important to include units when recording measurements? Give two reasons:
12. Describe one challenge your group faced when measuring today and how you solved it:
13. Check all the things that can affect the accuracy of measurements:

Not zeroing the scales before measuring

Reading the measurement from the wrong angle

Using a broken or faulty instrument

Not waiting for the thermometer reading to stabilise

Forgetting to record the units

14. In your own words, explain the difference between mass and weight:
15. Give three real-life examples where accurate temperature measurement is important:
