To read a balance scale, first ensure it is calibrated and leveled. Place the object being weighed on one side of the scale and add standard weights to the other side until the scale balances. The weight of the object is equal to the sum of the standard weights on the other side. Record the weights used and add them up to determine the weight of the object.

JordanThere are a couple different types of balance scales. For a triple beam balance, balance the scale, place item in the pan, move the sliders starting with the largest, adjust weight to zero, and add the riders for the total weight. For a one-pan scale, place item in one pan, estimate, place mass on free end until even, then add the masses for the total weight.
