Discover the magic of measuring in this KS2 Science quiz! It's all about cool tools that help us measure different things and the special units they use.
Measurement is like keeping track of how big or long something is. We measure loads of stuff - like electrical current in amps, temperature in degrees Celsius, and force in newtons. In science, we use tools like measuring beakers, metre wheels, and stopwatches. Can you remember more? What does each tool measure?
Test your skills with this fun KS2 Science quiz about measuring equipment and units! How much do you know?

You would need to measure both the length of people's hands and their height
|
Metres and centimetres are used for measuring length and height

You would also need a watch or stopwatch to measure the 10 minutes
|
Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius or sometimes in degrees Fahrenheit or Kelvin

As we are looking at the effect different amounts of water have on the height of plants, we need to measure both
|
Measuring jugs measure amounts of liquids and rulers measure length, width or height
|

Millimetres can measure height and millilitres can measure amounts of liquid
|
Force is measured in newtons, using a forcemetre (or Newtonmeter). In this case, however, the number of paper clips would be the unit of measurement

Lighter objects would probably be thrown further than heavier ones - why not try this experiment to see if I am right?
|
Degrees Celsius measure temperature, metres measure distance and amperes measure electric current
