Float like a Feather: Understanding ‘Light’ After learning about heavy objects like elephants and trains, it is time to explore the opposite: Light objects. Our Identify Light Objects Worksheet helps children recognize items that have very little mass and are easy to lift or move.
Gravity and Weight Teaching “light” is often fun because these objects behave differently.
- The Concept: Light objects can often be blown away by the wind (like a leaf) or float in the air (like a balloon).
- The Task: In this worksheet, students must ignore the heavy anchors and rocks, and focus on finding the delicate, light items.
How to Use
- Compare: Look at the two pictures in each row (e.g., A Rock vs. A Leaf).
- Think: Ask, ‘Which one could you pick up with just two fingers?’
- Identify: Circle the object that is LIGHT.
This resource creates a balanced understanding of measurement when paired with our heavy object worksheets.
