"The lessons in Sizing Up Measurement: Activities for Grades 3-5 Classrooms focus on length, area, volume, angles, weight, time, and temperature. Each lesson is organized in an accessible, easy-to-use format that includes an overview, a list of materials, a vocabulary list, and step-by-step teaching directions. Students come away from these lessons with a deeper understanding of why and how to measure, and they develop the confidence required to make sense of any situation and the measurement tools involved."--pub. desc.

Particle size measurement is the crucial technique in powder technology, as the properties of a powder are dependent upon its particle size distribution. This reference for industrial and academic researchers discusses a wide range of measurement techniques in detail, together with chapters on accurate sampling and surface area determination. This edition (third was 1981) increases coverage of on- line analysis, reflecting the shift in emphasis of powder characterization toward in-process size analysis.
