Balance and Weighing

We started a new science unit this week - balance and weighing. The essential questions we are working with during this unit are: How does weight affect balance? Are bigger things always heavier? How can using a balance help place objects in order? During this unit students will work with a beam balance and an equal arm balance. They will place objects in serial order (from lightest to heaviest). The will use the balances to measure and compare the mass of objects (more/less). They will compare measurements.
