When everyone has finished, the teacher and the students will discuss their findings. The teacher shows the students where the centers are located in the room and walks the students through each center, giving directions and explaining how they will record information using the handout. The teacher will group the students into three groups. The students will work at one station at a time in their groups. When everyone has finished one activity the groups will switch to the next station.
Students use a scale to weigh the objects located at the center.
Students will list the objects on their handout beginning with lightest to heaviest. Students will record individual weights of objects on their handout. Using the five items at the center, the students arrange them in order, ranging from shortest to longest. Students then measure objects using a ruler or yardstick and record the measurement next to the item on the handout. Assessment Teacher will observe students during the class discussions and as they work in their groups to complete their activities.
