Weighing and Measuring

Rocks and gem stones were left on the table next to a scale.First the children use the tongs to play with them.  This quickly led to many discussions and exploration of weight.     
Aiden: "OH Man!"  after tipping the scale.
Great motor skill practice!  The children discovered that although the rocks were smaller they were easier to lift!
Eventually the children moved the scale around the room.  Here, Hannah uses it to compare weights of people and cars.
