Steps for weighing an object!

3rd graders will have a quiz on Wednesday, December 7 over the Steps for Weighing an Object. I have given them the option to take the test in a written format by sequencing the steps on paper just like the study guide I will send home OR they can put the balance together and weigh an item while describing the steps. They get to choose! Below, you will find the steps and /or you can watch a video to help you study! Good Luck!

P.S. I am using an old video so the dates on the video and at the end of the video are incorrect!  The test is Wednesday, December 7!

Step 1-Place the balance beam on the balance base.
Step 2-Set cups in the holes at the ends of the balance.
Step 3-Move the slider on the balance beam to zero the balance.
Step 4 Place the object to be wieighed in one cup.
Step 5-Place mass pieces in the other cup until the balance beam balances.
Step 6-Add up the total number of grams that the object weighs.
Step 7-Write the result on a student sheet or a piece of paper.
Step 8-Return the mass pieces to the container.
