Engage your students with this lab experience designed to investigate mass, weight and calculating W=mg. This resource is a great way to practice the skills of measuring mass and weight, noting the difference in the measurements, calculating W=mg and connecting the relationship between mass and weight. 

This resource covers

• Making Predictions About Outcomes
• Using Measuring Tools - Triple Beam Balance/Scale and Spring Scale
• Measuring Mass
• Measuring Weight
• Calculating W=mg
• Comparing Calculated vs. Measured Values

Not every student needs the same support! This resource comes with 2 different student recording sheets. One to help learners that need more support and another for more independent students.

Includes:

• Teacher Guide
• 2 Versions of the Student Procedures and Answer Sheet
• Answer Keys
• BONUS Extension Activity: Acceleration Due to Gravity On Other Planets Research

Materials Needed:

• Triple Beam Balance or Digital Scale
• Spring Scale
• Several small objects of different masses
• Calculator
