This week, we have been exploring measuring and comparing the weight of objects. We have been using the language 'heavy, heavier, heaviest' and 'light, lighter, lightest' to compare objects.
Today, we have begun using the balance scales to compare objects and have then used cubes to measure how heavy our objects are. First, we compared our objects by seeing which ones were heaviest and which were lightest. Then, we used cubes to measure the weight of the object. The lightest object in the classroom was Faith's food from the home corner which weighed one cube and the heaviest object was toy dog that Zaynab measured which weighed a huge 31 cubes!!
We now know that is the scales are balanced, the objects are equal. If the scale is down, then that object is the heaviest and if the scale is up, then that object is the lightest.
