The Brilliant Pandas have been very busy learning about mass. We participated in a carousel of activities, each designed to engage and expand every child’s learning. To introduce the topic, the class used a balance scale to compare the mass of various items, predicting which would be heavier before measuring them. This activity then progressed to using digital scales to calculate the exact mass of one or more items in grams and then compare their masses. On the SmartBoard, the children played a game where they read an analogue scale and typed in their answers. The third activity involved baking cupcakes. The children were responsible for measuring the ingredients’ mass and mixing the cake batter. They then enjoyed the cupcakes as part of their afternoon snack.
