What this activity builds
Read precipitation depth to the nearest tenth from a concave meniscus.
Worked example
The low center of a gauge meniscus meets the fourth tenth mark after 6. What is the reading?
6.4
Each minor interval is one tenth, so four intervals after 6 equal 6.4.
Teaching notes
Make the practice count
- Use the whole-number labels to locate the current unit.
