Virtual Measurement Lesson
Virtual students investigated heavy and light measurements with balloons. Students learned that larger items are not always heavier. During this lesson, the larger balloon with air was lighter than the smaller balloon filled with water. Virtual students watched Mrs. Hoover use a balance scale to measure objects. Virtual students repeated the same experiment at home to explore heavy and light objects.
Can you guess how much we weigh?
