Let’s go step by step to figure out which objects weigh more or less in each pair.
We’re comparing two objects at a time and deciding:
- In the first section: circle the one that weighs
more
- In the second section: circle the one that weighs
less
---
First Section: Circle the object that weighs MORE
1.
School bus vs Paper clip
→ A school bus is huge and made of metal — it weighs tons.
→ A paper clip is tiny and light.
✔ Circle:
School bus
2.
Book vs Boy
→ A book might weigh 1–3 pounds.
→ A boy (even a small child) weighs much more — maybe 50+ pounds.
✔ Circle:
Boy
3.
Computer vs Cup
→ A computer (desktop or laptop) is heavy — especially if it includes monitor, keyboard, etc. Even just the tower or laptop is heavier than a cup.
→ A cup (like a coffee mug) is light unless filled with something heavy — but here it’s shown empty.
✔ Circle:
Computer
4.
Toothbrush vs Toy Train
→ A toothbrush is plastic and very light.
→ A toy train (especially if it has wheels and parts) is usually heavier.
✔ Circle:
Toy Train

Second Section: Circle the object that weighs LESS
5.
Car vs CD
→ A car weighs thousands of pounds.
→ A CD is thin plastic — almost weightless compared to a car.
✔ Circle:
CD
6.
Mobile Phone vs Clip
→ “Clip” here likely means a binder clip or paperclip — both are very light.
→ A mobile phone is heavier than a clip (even though phones are getting lighter, they still weigh more than a clip).
Wait — let’s double-check:
A typical smartphone weighs about 150–200 grams.
A large binder clip? Maybe 10–20 grams. A paperclip? Less than 1 gram.
So yes — the
clip is lighter.
✔ Circle:
Clip
7.
Nail vs Hammer
→ A nail is small metal — very light.
→ A hammer is a tool with a heavy head and handle — much heavier.
✔ Circle:
Nail
8.
Sunglasses vs Books
→ Sunglasses are lightweight plastic/glass frames.
→ “Books” (plural!) — even one book is heavier than sunglasses; multiple books are definitely heavier.
✔ Circle:
Sunglasses

Now, let’s list all the correct answers clearly:
Circle the object that weighs MORE:
- School bus
- Boy
- Computer
- Toy Train
Circle the object that weighs LESS:
- CD
- Clip
- Nail
- Sunglasses
Final Answer:
School bus, Boy, Computer, Toy Train, CD, Clip, Nail, Sunglasses
