It looks like you've uploaded an educational worksheet titled
"Measuring with a Balance Scale and Weights", which is designed to teach the concept of mass measurement using a balance scale.
🌟 What the Worksheet Is About:
This activity helps students understand how to measure the mass of an object using a balance scale and standard weights (like 10g, 20g, 50g, etc.). The goal is to
balance the scale by placing weights on the right side that equal the mass of the object on the left.

🔍 How to Solve This Task:
#### Step-by-Step Instructions:
1.
Choose an Object:
- Pick one of the objects shown in the image (likely drawn or represented as shapes).
- Place it on the
left-hand pan of the balance scale.
2.
Use Paper Weights:
- You are given a set of paper weights (on the right side of the page), each labeled with a value (e.g., 10g, 20g, 50g, etc.).
3.
Balance the Scale:
- Try different combinations of these weights on the
right-hand pan until the scale balances.
- The total weight on the right must equal the mass of the object on the left.
4.
Record the Result:
- Cut out the weights used and glue them onto the "activity sheet."
- Write down the
total mass (sum of the weights) used to balance the scale.

✔ Example:
Suppose the object on the left weighs
70 grams.
You might use:
- One
50g weight
- One
20g weight
Then:
> Total = 50g + 20g =
70g
You would cut out the 50g and 20g weights and glue them on the right side of the scale.

💡 Key Learning Points:
- A balance scale compares mass directly.
- When balanced, both sides have
equal mass.
- This method teaches
addition and
problem-solving through trial and error.
---
🛠️ Tips for Students:
- Start with larger weights and add smaller ones.
- Use only the weights provided.
- Double-check your total before gluing!

📝 Final Answer:
Since no specific object or weight values were selected in your upload, here’s what you should do:
>
Choose an object → place it on the left → add paper weights to the right until balanced → calculate total weight used → record it.
If you can provide the actual object's mass or describe the weights available, I can help you determine the exact combination needed.
