INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES: The pupil
1. acquires knowledge of the (a) fundamental quantities and S.I. Units

(b) Description of vernier callipers
(c) Least count and its determination
(d) Zero error of vernier callipers
2. understands the explanation for vernier callipers and reason for finding out the L.C and zero
error of a vernier callipers.
3. applies the scientific knowledge to identify the type of zero error in the diagram.
4. develops skill in (a) observing the diagram of vernier callipers
(b) drawing the diagram of vernier calipers
(c) labelling accurately the parts of the diagram of vernier callipers
(d) finding out the LC of a given vernier callipers
(e) calculating accurately the length of an object for the given values
5. Develops Interest in using the physical measurement in day today life
6.develops attitude towards science in knowing more about vernier calipers.
INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES:
1. Vernier callipers
2. A Chart showing the diagram of a vernier callipers and the diagram to show the types of zero
error.

REVIEW:
Fundamental quantities – SI units − Description of vernier calipers – least count and its determination – procedure
to find out the length of the cylinder – zero error and its types.
FOLLOW UP ACTIVITIES:
1. Explain the description of a vernier calliper with a neat diagram.
2. How will you find out the LC and Zero error of a vernier caliper?
