Let's solve each part of the worksheet step by step.

1. Choose the correct names for these tools
We are given 5 images, and we need to match each image with its correct name from the list:
thermometer, measuring cup, scale, hand lens, tape measure
Here are the images and their correct labels:
1.
First image (magnifying glass) →
hand lens
2.
Second image (clear cup with measurement lines) →
measuring cup
3.
Third image (temperature gauge with red line and numbers) →
thermometer
4.
Fourth image (red and silver weighing device) →
scale
5.
Fifth image (yellow flexible ruler) →
tape measure
✔ So the correct matching is:
- Image 1:
hand lens
- Image 2:
measuring cup
- Image 3:
thermometer
- Image 4:
scale
- Image 5:
tape measure

2. Complete the sentences
Now, fill in the blanks using the correct tool names:
-
A hand lens helps you observe more details than with your own eyes.
*(A magnifying glass lets you see small things more clearly.)*
-
We use a thermometer to measure temperature.
*(Thermometers show how hot or cold something is.)*
-
We use a measuring cup to measure amounts of liquids.
*(Measuring cups have volume markings for liquids like water or milk.)*
-
We use a tool called a scale to measure weight.
*(Scales tell us how heavy something is.)*
-
We use a tape measure to measure length, width and height.
*(Tape measures are flexible rulers used for long distances.)*
✔ Final answers:
- hand lens
- thermometer
- measuring cup
- scale
- tape measure

3. Name the parameters of the rectangular prism
A
rectangular prism is a 3D shape with six rectangular faces. The three main dimensions (parameters) that define it are:
-
Length – the longest side of the base
-
Width – the shorter side of the base (perpendicular to length)
-
Height – the vertical dimension (how tall it is)
These three measurements are needed to calculate volume and surface area.
✔ So, the parameters are:
Length, Width, Height
