Teperature is measure in degrees - on various scales - internationally.
In a modern lab, you would use a digital scale to measure mass. Historically, balances and spring scales were used.
A spring scale measures the force exerted on an object due to gravity. It does this by stretching a spring based on the weight of the object, which can then be read as a measure of the force in units such as pounds or newtons.
Another name for a spring scale is a dynamometer. It is a device used to measure the force exerted on an object by a spring.
You could measure weight with a spring scale, unless you mean mass, which you would measure with a laboratory balance. You would measure time with a stop watch, and height with a meter stick.
