Tilted Boxes

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is centered around the concept of weight, featuring two boxes balanced on a scale, labeled for objects that are “HEAVY” and “LIGHT.” Below the scale, there are images of various objects that students are expected to cut out and categorize. The task is to paste each object into the correct box on the scale according to whether the object is typically heavy or light. Such a sorting activity requires students to use their judgment and knowledge of the physical world to complete the worksheet accurately.

The worksheet educates students on the basic physical properties of objects, specifically their weight, by having them differentiate between heavy and light items. It teaches critical thinking as students must evaluate and decide where each object belongs on the scale. The activity also provides an opportunity to develop fine motor skills through the cutting and pasting process. Furthermore, this exercise introduces foundational science concepts, preparing students for more complex studies in physical science and measurement.
