This week Kindergarten students explored weight by comparing different objects in the classroom with the pan balance! The students shared with their classmates what they thought would occur when the items were placed on the scale, and were introduced to the terms heavier, lighter, balance, and level. During Exploration time, students were able to select different objects from the classroom and have a hands on experience comparing the weight of different manipulatives. Later in the week, the students were also introduced to capacity and made estimations on which containers in the classroom would hold less, hold more, or be equal to.
