Comparing Mass

By the end of this unit, students will be able to:

  1. Compare the masses of two objects, still using non-standard units of measure.
  2. Use previous knowledge of “heavier” and “lighter” to compare the masses of objects
  3. Order the masses of more than two objects and to use the language of “heaviest” and “lightest”.
