Measuring Mass

This week we have been measuring mass. First we used our hands to compare the mass of different things around the room.  

Then we used the balancing scales to compare the mass of things.

These are kitchen scales. We used these to measure how many grams or kilograms things weigh. We found out that 1000 grams is 1kg. Did you know that elephants weigh around 4000kg? - Wow!!
