The Yr 3.1 students started talking about weight this week. The students learned about heavy and light things. They estimated weights of objects and chose which objects were heavier or lighter than others. They also used a balance to learn which object is heavier or lighter than the other as well as how to balance them. 

Weights were used to understand how heavy or light something is. Each student held each weight so as to feel the actual weight and compare it with other heavier or lighter weights. The students were particularly intrigued by the 1 Kg weight, especially when they found out that it is equivalent to 1000g. This was later compared it to a 1 Kg packet of spaghetti!
