Chapter: 3rd Maths : Term 2 Unit 3 : Measurements
Weighing objects using non standard units
Weight of the object measured using tamarind seeds, stones/pebbles and erasers differ as they are not standard. Hence, we use standard weighing object called weighing stones.
Weighing objects using non standard units
Activity 1
Place your geometry box in one pan of the simple balance and weigh it using the following in the other pan (i) Tamarind seeds, (ii) Stones/ Pebbles and (iii) Eraser. Tabulate the weight found.
Geometry box: Lighter Tamarind seeds
Geometry box: Heavier Stones/Pebbles
Geometry box: Lighter Erasers
Place a tiffin box instead of geometry box. You can try this activity with other objects also.
Tiffin box: Lighter Tamarind seeds
Tiffin box: Heavier Stones/Pebbles
Tiffin box: Lighter Erasers
Weight of the object measured using tamarind seeds, stones/pebbles and erasers differ as they are not standard. Hence, we use standard weighing object called weighing stones.
