Test Questions for Grade 1: Understanding Scales and Weight

📚 Quick Study Guide

⚖️
• Weight: Weight tells us how heavy something is. We use scales to measure weight.
🍎
• Units of Weight: We often use grams (g) and kilograms (kg) to measure weight. 1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g).
📈
• Scales: Scales help us compare the weights of different objects. A balance scale shows if things are equal in weight.
💡
• Comparing Weights: When comparing, the heavier object will make the scale tip down on its side.
➕
• Adding Weights: We can add weights together to find the total weight. For example, if you have a 2 kg apple and a 1 kg banana, the total weight is 3 kg.
