3. LO: to measure weight using non-standard units
LO: to measure weight using non-standard units. I will pass around some parcels and we will find which one is the heaviest and which one is the lightest. Before we begin, let’s see if you can guess which one is the lightest and which one is the heaviest.

4. LO: to measure weight using non-standard units
LO: to measure weight using non-standard units. We can measure weight using balancing scales. We put things on each side of the scale. Following this, we can look and see where it moves. Let’s look at some examples.

5. LO: to measure weight using non standard units. Which is heavier
LO: to measure weight using non standard units. Which is heavier? You know by looking at the balancing scale. Whichever one goes to the bottom, that one is the heaviest.
Feather
Pencil

6. LO: to measure weight using non standard units. Which is heavier?
Crayon
Jam jar

Your task:
Pick some things from your pencil case. Estimate, how many cubes we will need to balance the scales.
Following this, let’s use the balancing scale to measure

Which object weighs more?

15. Early one morning, Brian Bear went fishing to catch himself some breakfast.

16. Very soon, he had caught himself three tasty fish

17. A small one, a medium one and a big one.

18. Brian decided to weigh the fish to find out which was the heaviest.

19. Brian put the big fish on one plate and some stones on the other plate.

20. The plates were even. The big fish weighed five stones.

21. Brian put the medium fish on one plate and some stones on the other plate.

22. The plates were even. The medium fish weighed four stones.

23. Brian put the small fish on one plate and some stones on the other plate.

24. The plates were even. The small fish weighed just two stones.

25. The small fish is light. The medium fish is heavy…but the big fish is the heaviest!

26. I will eat the biggest and heaviest fish!

27. Just then Brian caught another fish.

28. It wasn’t as big as the big fish…but Brian weighed it anyway.

29. Brian put the new fish on one plate and some stones on the other plate.

30. The plates were even. The fish weighed SIX stones!

31. The new fish was heavier than the biggest fish. How could that be?

32. Now I know that the biggest fish isn’t always the heaviest.

33. And the smallest isn’t always the lightest. How strange.

34. I’m going to carry on fishing and weighing
I’m going to carry on fishing and weighing. Why don’t you try some weighing too?

35. Lighter than an apple Heavier than an apple Your task today: Pair work
Using your whiteboards, go around the classroom and outside area. We are going to find things that we think would be heavier or lighter than an apple. You have 10 minutes and then we will come back to the classroom and see if you are correct.
Lighter than an apple
Heavier than an apple

LO: to estimate weight of different parcels.

39. LO: to estimate and measure weight using standard units.
Let’s weigh some objects. Which one do you think will we the heaviest? Which one will be the lightest? How do you know?
We use grams and kilograms when we are measuring weight. There are 1000grams in 1 kilogram. We can write grams as g and kilograms as kg for short.
