Kindergarten Science · World 4: What's It Made Of? · Level 25
Science Tools
Use a hand lens to look closer and a balance scale to compare weight.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 25
- Scientists use their senses. Our eyes see color, shape, and size. Our hands feel texture.
- Scientists use tools too. A hand lens makes small things look bigger, so we can see more.
- A balance scale compares weight. The heavier side goes down.
- If both sides are even, the two things weigh the same.
- Try it with a grown-up! Make a balance with a coat hanger and two cups. Compare toys!
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).
