Important Setup Notes:
- Wooden box has been damaged. The bar could slide out.
Setup and Procedure:
- A table top camera and lamp can be used to show the mm groves to audience.
Cautions, Warnings, or Safety Concerns:
- When Cleaning, use a cotton ball and alcohol.
Discussion:
Show the students how long the meter is. Highlight the importance of standard and precise units. Use the light to illuminate the meter and the magnifying glass to magnify the fine graduations on the meter.
