Let’s go through each question one by one.
---
Question 1: A feather is ______ than a rock.
We know from the worksheet that “heavy things weigh more than light things.”
A feather is very light — you can barely feel it in your hand.
A rock is heavy — you can feel its weight when you pick it up.
So, a feather weighs less than a rock → that means it is
lighter.
✔ Answer: lighter
---
Question 2: A rock is ______ than a feather.
This is the opposite of Question 1.
If a feather is lighter than a rock, then a rock must be heavier than a feather.
Again, rocks are heavy, feathers are light.
✔ Answer: heavier
---
Question 3: Use a scale to measure the ______.
Look at the top of the worksheet:
> “When you weigh something, you measure its weight.”
And the cartoon shows kids using a scale to find out how much something weighs.
So, scales are used to measure
weight, not how heavy or light something is compared to others (those are comparisons), but the actual amount — which is called “weight”.
✔ Answer: weight
---
Question 4: The ______ box weighs the most.
Look at the pictures under “heavy”, “heavier”, “heaviest” — they show boxes with different numbers of items inside.
The “heaviest” box has the most stuff in it (looks like 3 balls).
“Heaviest” means it weighs the most.
Also, the word “most” matches with “heaviest” — because “heaviest” is the superlative form (like biggest, tallest, heaviest).
✔ Answer: heaviest

Final Answer:
1. lighter
2. heavier
3. weight
4. heaviest
