It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled
"Heavier, Lighter, or the Same?" The task is to
circle the correct word — either *heavier*, *lighter*, or *the same* — based on comparing two objects shown on a balance scale.
Let’s go through each row and analyze the images:
---
1. The apple vs. the strawberry
- The
apple is on one side, and the
strawberry is on the other.
- The
apple side is lower, meaning it's heavier.
- So, the
apple is heavier than the strawberry.
✔ Answer: heavier

2. The lemon vs. the pear
- The
lemon is on one side, the
pear on the other.
- The
pear side is lower, so the
pear is heavier.
- Therefore, the
lemon is lighter than the pear.
✔ Answer: lighter

3. The bird vs. the frog
- The
bird is on one side, the
frog on the other.
- The
frog side is lower, meaning the
frog is heavier.
- So, the
bird is lighter than the frog.
✔ Answer: lighter

4. The can vs. the ice cream
- The
can is on one side, the
ice cream (in a bowl) on the other.
- The
can side is lower, so the
can is heavier.
- Therefore, the
can is heavier than the ice cream.
✔ Answer: heavier

Summary:
You should
circle:
-
heavier for the apple vs. strawberry
-
lighter for the lemon vs. pear
-
lighter for the bird vs. frog
-
heavier for the can vs. ice cream
This worksheet helps children understand
comparative weight using visual balance scales. The key idea is that whichever side goes down is
heavier, and the side that goes up is
lighter.
