Ask the children to find rocks and place them in a bucket. Pick up two rocks at a time and hold them up for the children to see. Ask the children, “Which rock do you think is heavier? How can we find out?” Have the children pick up the rocks and feel the weight. Put them on a balance scale and compare them. A similar activity would be to use picture cards and ask about different attributes. The teacher may hold up a picture of ice cream and a picture of the sun and ask, “Which item is colder?”
