Measuring Using a Scale and Graduated Cylinder

In the past days, we've completed one lab. In this lab, we had to measure certain objects using a scale and graduated cylinder. One column was for our guesses on how much it weighed. The other was for actual measures. We then used the formula: predict-measured/measured x 100% to find out the percent difference of what we guessed and the actual. To find out its weight, we put the object on the scale and moved the ten marker and hundred marker until it is balanced. For the objects using water, we measured the volume by pouring the water into graduated cylinders.
