* Scale (or balance): This is the instrument specifically designed to measure mass. Scales work by comparing the force of gravity on an object to a known standard. This can be done mechanically (like a spring scale) or electronically (like a digital scale).
The other tools you mentioned are used for different purposes:
* Graduated Cylinder: This is used to measure the volume of liquids.
* Thermometer: This is used to measure temperature.
Let me know if you have any other questions about measuring tools!
