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


                                                 Heavy               Light                    goes up.


                 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.
