This document contains a worksheet on levels of measurement. It asks students to classify 10 variables as nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio. It then presents 4 scenarios and asks students to identify the level of measurement for each and determine if 4 statements about levels of measurement are true or false. The scenarios involve collecting data on food preferences, temperature over time using Celsius and Kelvin scales.
