Today we took part in some numeracy outdoors. We have been looking a little at weight recently, using the pan balance to explore items which are lighter or heavier. Today’s task was to find materials and objects outside that weighed about 1kg, more than 1kg and less than 1kg. We knew that if the pan balance was balanced the 2 sides were equal. We also understand that a heavier item will tilt the pan balance downwards and vice versa! We had great fun outside and the weather was on our side too â˜€ï¸ Now we have a better understanding of 1kg.
