Subject Area

Mathematics

Time Duration

45 minutes

Objectives

1. Identify the concept of weight
2. Understand the difference between heavy and light objects
3. Use appropriate tools to measure weight

Materials Needed

• Balances/scales
• Objects of varying weights
• Chart paper
• Markers

Procedure

1. Introduction (5 minutes)
   • Greet the students and ask if they know what weight means
   • Give a brief explanation of weight and compare it to size and height
2. Weight Sorting Activity (10 minutes)
   • Provide the students with various objects of different weights
   • Ask them to sort the objects into two categories: heavy and light
3. Balancing Act (15 minutes)
   • Display the balances/scales and explain how they are used to measure weight
   • Demonstrate how to use the balance/scale to find the weight of an object
   • Provide the students with objects to weigh and record their findings on chart paper
4. Weight Comparisons (10 minutes)
   • Give each student two objects of different weights
   • Ask them to compare the weight of the objects and record which object is heavier and which object is lighter
5. Conclusion (5 minutes)
   • Recap the concept of weight and review the differences between heavy and light objects
   • Encourage the students to practice measuring weight at home using different tools

Assessment

The students will be assessed on their ability to:

• Sort objects into heavy and light categories
• Use appropriate tools to measure weight
• Compare the weight of different objects

Enrichment Activity

Provide the students with a mystery weight box filled with various objects. Ask them to guess the weight of each object and then use the balance/scale to find the actual weight.
