Collect clear plastic bottles with lids that are the same size. Fill the bottles with a variety of materials of different weights such as water, cotton balls, sand, beads or feathers. Seal the tops so the children can't open them. Describe the weight of the bottles as the children explore them. Say, "You have the bottle with feathers. It's lighter than this one with beads," or "The sand bottle is heavy. How about the one with water?
