Objectives

1. Students will be able to identify and compare different weights.
2. Students will be able to use a scale to measure the weight of various objects.
3. Students will be able to explain how weight is different from size.

Materials

• Different objects of varying weights (e.g., books, pencils, toys)
• Scale or balance
• Paper
• Pencils

Introduction (5 minutes)

• Begin by asking students if they know what weight is.
• Write the definition of weight on the board: the heaviness of an object.
• Ask students to share things that are heavy and light.

Direct Instruction (15 minutes)

• Introduce the concept of comparing weights.
• Demonstrate how to use a scale or balance to compare the weights of two objects.
• Ask the students to compare several objects and record their findings on paper.
• Discuss the results as a class.

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

• Ask students to pair up and choose two objects to compare.
• Provide each pair with a scale and ask them to compare their objects.
• Circulate around the room to assist and ensure each pair understands how to use the scale correctly.

Independent Practice (10 minutes)

• Provide each student with a set of objects to weight, and have them record the weight of each object on their paper.
• Encourage students to work independently, but be available to assist as needed.

Closure (5 minutes)

• Review what the students learned during the lesson.
• Remind students that weight refers to the heaviness of an object and is different from size.
• Collect students' papers to check for understanding.

Assessment

• Observe students' ability to accurately compare and record the weights of different objects.
• Check students' recorded weights to ensure their understanding of the concept.
