We've moved from our addition and subtraction unit into weighing and measuring. We started off the unit by learning the words "heavier" and "lighter." We talked today about when something is big, it doesn't always mean it's heavier.
First, we compared a bag of coins and a bag of empty eggs.
Next, the class got a list of items around the classroom to compare weights of. They colored lighter items yellow and darker items blue.
At the end we compared our results and found that some of us had a hard time comparing things like a pencil and an eraser because they were close to the same weight. We will introduce balance scales tomorrow to show that scales are much more accurate than we are.
