Create a homemade balance scale using a plastic dress hanger (with two indentions on the top), yarn, tape and two cups of equal size. Tape yarn around the top of the cup and form a loop to hang from each side of the hanger. Hang the hanger from a door knob or cabinet. Give the children 20 M&M's ®. Find objects around the room to weigh and discuss.
