• To buy a scale, try http://www.myweigh.com/BuyOneHERElinks.html for new, or check out ebay.com or other auction sites for used ones. Try a "triple beam balance" (rather than digital) to learn about measurement as well. Sometimes sites like myweigh.com can donate a scale to your school or non-profit organization.
