Measuring Mass

  • Mass can be measured using a digital scale.
  • Measuring mass involves weighing objects and recording their mass in grams.

Comparing Mass

  • Mass can be compared by weighing objects and determining which ones are heavier or lighter.
  • Comparing mass involves discussing and recording the findings.

Conversion Exercises

  • Simple conversion exercises involve converting between kilograms and grams.
  • Examples of conversion exercises include:
    • 1 kg = 1,000 g
    • 0.5 kg = 500 g
    • 0.1 kg = 100 g

Key Points
