Simple Scale with Weights

The Simple Scale with Weights is an essential tool for helping students explore the relationship between volume and mass in both liquids and solids. This sturdy scale is perfect for hands-on learning, allowing students to measure, estimate, and compare the mass of various objects. It comes equipped with a set of 16 x 10g weights and 8 x 5g weights, providing the necessary tools to accurately compare mass. The detachable tubs can hold up to 200ml of liquid, making this scale versatile for measuring both solids and liquids in a variety of classroom activities. Ideal for situations where space is limited, the compact design of the scale ensures that it is easy to store and use without sacrificing functionality. The scale is perfect for introducing students to basic concepts of measurement, fostering an understanding of balance, and encouraging exploration through experimentation. With its simple yet effective design, this scale is an excellent addition to any classroom, providing practical, hands-on experience in measurement.

Educational Benefits:

• Introduces students to key measurement concepts, including volume and mass.
• Supports the development of estimation and comparison skills through practical experiments.
• Encourages hands-on learning and inquiry-based activities.
• Helps students understand the importance of accuracy and precision in measurement.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use the scale to compare the mass of different objects in a science or physics lesson.
• Incorporate into a lesson on liquid measurement, where students can compare the volume of different liquids in the tubs.
• Have students perform experiments to predict the mass of different objects and then verify their predictions using the scale.
• Use as a tool for learning about the concept of balance, with students experimenting with adding weights to achieve equilibrium.
