Measure in the nursery

We have been exploring the language of measure. In our groups we have been using a 2 pan balance to weigh different objects. Once we had all picked an object, we estimated which object would be heaviest and lightest. Some boys and girls noticed that their arms felt strange when lifting something heavy, we need to use our strong muscles to lift heavier objects. We could discuss what we noticed happening to the scales when something was heavy/light. Our new words we now know- scales, heaviest and lightest.
