2- It's usually a small weighing-machine. Scales
3- What do you call the underside of the foot, the part on which one stands and walks? The sole
4- An adjective meaning wise, having or showing a good judgement. Sensible
5- It's the amount that can be held, carried etc on a shovel. A shovelful
6- What do you call the captain of a ship, aeroplane or team? A skipper
7- This verb means to clean by hard rubbing. To scour / to scrub
8- A verb meaning to spread something sticky or oily over a surface. To stain
9- What do you call the dirty foam that forms on the surface of a liquid? Scum
10- It's a blow with the palm of the hand or anything flat. A slap
