Description
A hands-on measurement lab where random objects are chosen to measure mass using pan balances or triple beam balances and a digital scale. Students will take the first measurement on a balance and then the second on the digital scale. They will then find the difference between the two measurements. The end of the lab questions discuss why there may be a difference between the two measurements. Extension acitivity: choose 5 objects and graph the results.

I used this in my science class with gifted fourth graders. I like the ease of use.
Thank you!
Thanks!
Great resource

Standards
to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
CCSS3.MD.A.2
Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l). Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem.
CCSS3.MD.B.3
Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets.
