            Weight


            The words heavy and light tell us about weight.

            We can measure the weight of an object by using a weighing balance. A weighing
            balance has two pans, and a rod which moves on a point.





                    The pan with

                the heavier weight                                                             The pan with
                     goes down.                                                             the lighter weight
                                                                                                  goes up.
                                                    Heavy                Light



                     The rod is
                straight and both                                                                This means

                  the pans are at                                                           weight of both the
                  the same level.                                                             objects is same.


                                                               Same






                  Look at the balances below and encircle the heavier objects.
