Which things should be removed so that the weight of the load is not more than 700 kg?
Make pairs of different things and use the balance to decide which is heavier. First guess which thing will take the pan down and then check with your balance.
Make groups of three things. For example - eraser, ball and paper. Use the balance to arrange them in order of weight-the lightest, the one with in-between weight, the heaviest.
Complete the table with at least five examples.
| Lightest | In-between weight | Heaviest |
| Paper | Eraser | Ball |
Take a small plastic packet.
Put it in one pan of the balance. Put the soap in the other pan. Slowly add sand to the packet till the pans are balanced.
Close the packet with a rubber band or string. Now stick a strip of paper and write ‘ g’ on it.
Use your weights to weigh different things and write in your notebook.
