Outdoor scales provide a fun and hands-on way to teach students about measuring weight and comparing objects. Students can build their own simple outdoor scales (or use pre-built ones) and engage in measuring different objects. This resource includes differentiated activity sheets where students find and compare the weights of natural items, enhancing their understanding of measurement through play and structured challenges.
Materials Needed:
Activity pack
Coat hangers
String
Buckets (or similar containers)
Teaching Structure:
Build the scales: Students can construct their own scales or use pre-built ones if time is limited.
Experiment: Allow students to freely explore and play with the scales, getting comfortable with the concept.
Complete challenges: Students use differentiated activity sheets to compare the weights of various objects.
