Shape, scale and accurate measurement
An introduction to the measurement of weight in kilograms and height in centimetres, with a demonstration of how to read scales. In this animation set at the South Pole, Dave needs to read the scales to weigh the penguins. The scales are marked in 10s. To make reading the scales easier and more effective he adds in the 5s. Next, The penguins' heights are measured in centimetres. This scale is also marked in 10s.
