STEP 1: ½” x 11”) than the other. Fold a sheet of standard paper using a verƟcal (hot dog-like)
STEP 2: Fold the paper in half using a horizontal (hamburger-like) fold.
STEP 3: Fold the paper in half again using the same fold as before. (8
STEP 4: Cut through the three fold-lines on the outside half of the paper Note: stop at the verƟcal fold-line.
STEP 5: The result will be a Four-Tab VerƟcal Folded template

Imagine you have a ruler, a graduated cylinder, and a thermometer. How would you choose which tool to use for measuring the length of an object, the volume of a liquid, and the temperature? Why is it important to pick the right tool for each job?
Think about how you would make sure your measurements are accurate if you were measuring length, volume, and temperature in an experiment What could go wrong with each tool, and how would you fix or avoid those problems?
If you need to keep track of a liquid’s temperature over Ɵme, which type of thermometer would be best for conƟnuous monitoring? Why is it important to choose the right thermometer for this job, and how does it affect your results?
STEP 1: (8 ½” x 11”) fold.
Fold a sheet of standard paper using a verƟcal (hot dog-like)
STEP 3: Fold the leŌ side over the right to the edge of the folded paper.
STEP 2: Hold the paper horizontally with the folded edge facing up. Fold the right side of the paper towards the center covering about two-thirds of the paper.
STEP 4: Open the folded paper and cut through both folds on one side of the paper Stop at the “ v ” This will form three tabs.
