Follow the steps to easily complete the form for making a paper scale.

1. Click the ‘Get Form’ button to obtain the form and open it in the designated online editor.
2. Read through the instructions carefully to ensure you understand the requirements for making a scale of least count (a) 0.2 cm and (b) 0.5 cm.
3. Gather all necessary materials as listed in the procedure section, including thick ivory or drawing sheets, white paper, pencils, a ruler, a sharpener, an eraser, and a fine-tipped ink pen.
4. For least count 0.2 cm: Fold the white paper in half lengthwise and draw a line of 30 cm using a sharp pencil. Mark the line at each cm with small dots and label them from 0 to 30.
5. Draw thin vertical lines at each dot to create perpendicular marks and additional parallel lines at 1 cm intervals to facilitate measuring the 0.2 cm increments.
6. Connect the end point of the drawn perpendicular line to the marked 1 cm to identify increments of 0.2 cm along the scale.
7. For least count 0.5 cm, repeat the procedure on the other half of the paper, marking only two lines for 1 cm and 2 cm increments.
8. Once both scales are completed, measure a pencil or another object using these scales to test accuracy. Ensuring that the measurement adheres to the readings on the scales.
9. Save any changes made and finalize the document if necessary.
10. Download, print, or share the completed scale and form as needed.
