Weighing Pebbles

Year 4 have been using forcemeters to measure the weight of pebbles and rocks. 

First we looked closely at the forcemeters.  We noticed some forcemeters had different scales:













We then worked cooperatively in small groups interpreting the scale and helping each other check the results.

After we had finished recording our measurements, we compared  our results with the rest of the class to see how accurate we were.  We were in fact very pleased, as we had lots of answers the same!
