Measuring Balance with Weights

The Measuring Balance with Weights is a durable and accurate tool designed to support students in exploring measurement and mass concepts through hands-on experimentation. Ideal for primary and upper primary classrooms, this plastic balance comes equipped with two clear 1-litre graduated buckets with lids, allowing for the weighing of solids and liquids. The balance features an easy-to-use zero adjustment dial to ensure precision and accuracy in readings. It includes a comprehensive set of 25 stackable plastic and metal weights, totalling 246 grams, making it ideal for a wide range of comparison and measurement activities. The built-in storage compartments keep weights organised and easily accessible. This balance is perfect for developing mathematical understanding of mass, estimation, and equivalency, while also fostering investigative learning in science experiments. The sturdy design and included instruction sheet make it a reliable and user-friendly classroom resource.

Educational Benefits:

• Teaches accurate measurement of mass using standard units.
• Reinforces understanding of equivalency and comparison of weight.
• Encourages hands-on learning in both maths and science contexts.
• Supports fine motor skills and cognitive development through manipulation.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use in science experiments to measure solids or liquids during investigations.
• Challenge students to balance the scale using different weight combinations.
• Integrate into maths lessons for exploring mass, units, and estimation.
• Set up a weighing station for independent or small group activities.
