STC Unit Descriptions

Balancing and Weighing
ISBN 0-89278-978-6
Subject:
Relationship between balance and weight
 

Materials included in the Balancing and Weighing unit kit.
 
This unit introduces students to the relationship between balance and weight. Experiences with a beam balance introduce students to the concept that amount of weight, position of weight, and position of the fulcrum affect balance. Work with an equal-arm balance challenges students to place objects in serial order on the basis of weight and to appreciate that weighing is the process of balancing an object against a certain number of standard objects. In the final lessons, students turn to a series of problem-solving investigations with the equal-arm balance and cupfuls of four different foods. These activities provide an opportunity to explore the relationship between weight, density, and volume.
