Kindergarten Science · World 4: What's It Made Of? · Level 23
Size and Weight
Compare size and weight, and see that bigger isn't always heavier.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 23
- Size is how big or small something is. A bus is bigger than a ball.
- Weight is how heavy or light something is. A rock is heavier than a feather.
- On a balance scale, the heavier side goes down.
- Bigger isn't always heavier! A big balloon is lighter than a small brick.
- Try it with a grown-up! Hold a pillow in one hand and a can of soup in the other. Which is bigger? Which is heavier?
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:
- SKP1.b — Use senses and science tools to classify common objects, such as buttons or swatches of cloth, according to their physical attributes (color, size, shape, weight, and texture).
