Weight Hunt: Go on a weight hunt around your home or classroom! Find three things that are heavy and three things that are light. Share what you found with a friend or family member. Can you explain why you think each item is heavy or light?
Balance Challenge: Use a simple balance scale or make one using a hanger and some string. Try to balance a heavy object with several light objects. How many light objects do you need to balance the heavy one? Experiment with different items and see what happens!
Story Time: Create a short story or draw a picture about a day in the life of a heavy object and a light object. What adventures do they have? How do they move differently? Share your story or picture with the class and discuss the differences between the heavy and light objects.
