Weight and Mass

THis week we have been exploring activities that develop mass(weight). We have been using words like heavy, heavier, light, lighter. You can help by getting your child to find things that are light. Once they have a collection of light objects, you could ask them to find objects that are heavy.

The following wbsite has activities on these topics.
