Using a Balance Scale
Directions:
You will need a balance scale.
Go over the concepts of, “lighter, heavier,
and the same weight.”
Let your child hold two objects and then ask
them which one is heavier? Put one object on one side of the balance scale and the other object on the other side of the balance scale. Then ask your child if they were right. Do this over and over again.
Next, ask your child to find two objects that weigh about the same. Put one object on one side of the balance scale and the other object on the other side of the balance scale. Then ask if the two objects weigh the same. If they don’t, what could they do to make the objects the same weight?
Play these games over and over again!
