USING THE PRIMER
®
BALANCE
The Primer Balance is rugged and can be used by students with the
knowledge that it will not be damaged through normal use. The balance
may be taken apart to see how it is constructed. Each of the balance pans
may be loaded with all types of materials: sand, water, books, rocks, etc.
Since there is very little that will damage the Primer Balance, students may
be given freedom to explore how it works.
After they have had an opportunity to explore the working of the balance on
their own, the activities in this guide may be duplicated and introduced.
