The Rocker Scale 1 L is an essential tool for primary school classrooms, designed to introduce students to the concept of mass and measurements in a hands-on and engaging way. Perfect for small group science experiments, the scale allows students to explore the idea of balance and equality, helping them develop a foundational understanding of mass and how it is measured. The scale features transparent tubs marked with 100ml graduations, with a maximum capacity of 1 litre, making it ideal for a variety of classroom applications. The tubs are made from durable, washable material and are sensitive enough to register a positive movement as small as 1g. The design of the tubs ensures accurate readings, even when objects are placed off-centre, adding to the versatility of the Rocker Scale in practical learning situations. This tool is a great way to visually demonstrate the concept of mass and balance in a clear, interactive manner. Please note, the contents of the tubs are not included with the product.
