LO: I can compare the mass of objects
Can you create your own balancing scale?
Follow these instructions and create your own scales at home
 | To make a balance scale for kids, start with 2 paper cups and punch 2 holes on opposite sides of each cup, close to the rim, to make buckets. Then cut 2 pieces of twine to about 1 foot each, making sure they're exactly the same length. Next, pair each piece of twine with a cup and tie the ends of the twine through the holes to make handles. www.wikihow.com |
Using the balancing scale you have created, can you find objects to compare?
Ideas: You could use sticks, pebbles, small toys or cereal.
How can you tell which object is lighter?
