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

Final Answers Summary:



#### 1. Match the tools:
1. Hand lens
2. Measuring cup
3. Thermometer
4. Scale
5. Tape measure

#### 2. Complete the sentences:
