Metric Mass - GRAMS
We concluded our metric study with mass. We discussed that the smallest measurement was a milligram with the mass of a grain of rice. Boy is that tiny! Using different objects around our classroom, our pan balances, and gram stackers, we discovered the mass of various things. What a great time we had! Most things measured in grams - some more than others. We used a small paper clip to remind us the mass of one gram and our math textbook as the mass of a kilogram.
What was your favorite object? What was the mass?
