Reading Scales

How much is 50grams?  100 grams?  200 grams?

We used clay to make torches, candles and anything else that is a source of light. 



We made the mass of each thing different.  We had to estimate how much they would weigh.

Lots of different light sources!!

We then used the scales to check how close we were.
