Measurement with Balance Scales

Measurement with Balance Scales

Learning Goals: Math Skills, Measurement, Comparison of Objects

    • Provide students with various objects and a balance scale.
    • Encourage students to test out various combinations of objects on each end of the scale. 
    • Extend the learning by asking students guiding questions such as: Which is heavier? How can we decide which is heavier?
