Butterfly vs. Birds

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a simple illustration of a balance scale with two outlined boxes at its pans, where students can paste objects. Below the scale are two images within dotted squares, ready to be cut out: one of a bird and one of a butterfly. The students’ task is to decide which image represents the heavier object and to paste that image into the correct box on the balance scale, thereby practicing the concept of weight comparison.

The worksheet is designed to help students learn to distinguish between heavy and light objects through visual cues. It teaches them to make decisions based on their understanding of the natural world, in this case, the comparative weights of a bird and a butterfly. By engaging in this activity, students develop critical thinking skills as they evaluate and classify objects according to their weight. Additionally, the cut-and-paste aspect of the worksheet aids in the development of fine motor skills.
