📚 Topic Summary
In first grade, we learn about comparing the weight of objects. Something that takes more effort to lift is heavier, while something that is easier to lift is lighter. We can use our hands or simple tools to compare objects and decide which is heavier and which is lighter. Understanding weight helps us describe and compare things around us!
