The same/different could be used with a remediation group, where as the heavy/light could be used with a more advanced group.
In my classroom, I have a sack of objects that the students pick from. They hold their arms straight out like a balance and clutch one in each hand. They then draw in the object (and label if they can) in the correct pan on their mats.
Ideas for objects: I usually just grab whatever "junk" I can find that is cluttering up my classroom!
Heavy:
juice box
bottle of glue
bean bag
box of crayons
apple
cell phone (old ones in the toy bin)
book
Light:
crayon
pencil
eraser
paper clip
post-it sticky note
string
penny
piece of candy
the same:
pencil & cap eraser
post-it note & notebook paper sheet
paper clip & rubber band
round paper wrapped gum & stick gum
string & ribbon
