- Instrument range and resolution

Select the range and resolution of measuring instruments, including Vernier calipers with 0.1 mm resolution and a micrometer screw gauge with 0.01 mm resolution.

Use - instrument range and resolution to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because - instrument range and resolution determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply - instrument range and resolution to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: - Instrument range and resolution is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
