Primary Balance for Weights & Liquid

The Primary Balance for Weights & Liquid is a robust and practical tool designed to support hands-on learning in measurement and comparison of mass and volume. Featuring two clear, translucent buckets, this balance allows students to see and compare both solid and liquid contents, making it ideal for a variety of science and maths investigations. The balance's sturdy construction ensures durability for classroom use, while its simple design encourages students to experiment independently with balancing different materials. Red lids are included to enable stacking or balancing additional objects, which expands the scope of activities and deepens understanding of weight and equilibrium. Suitable for young learners from age three upwards, this balance helps introduce foundational measurement concepts and encourages exploration through tactile experiences, fostering early scientific thinking and numeracy skills aligned with the Australian Curriculum.

Educational Benefits:

• Develops understanding of mass and volume through hands-on experimentation.
• Encourages observation and comparison of different materials (solids and liquids).
• Promotes problem-solving and critical thinking through balancing activities.
• Supports foundational scientific inquiry skills in early learners.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use the balance to compare weights of classroom objects or natural materials.
• Explore liquid measurement by filling buckets with different volumes of water.
• Incorporate balancing games where students add objects on lids to achieve equilibrium.
• Use in science lessons to investigate concepts of mass, density, and displacement.
