Exploring Weight Worksheet

Charlotte, Oliver and Levi are weighing ingredients for a class recipe. Read each question carefully. Weight tells us how heavy something is. We measure it in grams (g) or kilograms (kg) using scales.

Choose the right measure

Use what you know about weight to help the cooking team.

1.Which tool should Charlotte use to find how heavy a bag of flour is?
  • A ruler
  • Scales
  • A measuring jug
2.Circle the most suitable unit for the weight of one apple: grams (g) or kilograms (kg).
3.True or false? One kilogram is heavier than one gram.
