This worksheet titled "Order by Weight" from *Superstar Workshees* asks children to order objects from lightest to heaviest (or vice versa) based on their visual weight. Since this is a black-and-white, non-numeric activity, the goal is to use visual estimation and common knowledge about real-world object weights.
We’ll go through each row, analyze the objects, estimate their relative weights, and determine the correct order.
---
Objects: Cat, Fish, Flower
- Cat: A small animal — relatively heavy.
- Fish: Small, likely lighter than a cat.
- Flower: Very light — just petals and stem.
✔ Order from lightest to heaviest:
1. Flower
2. Fish
3. Cat
➡️ Fill in boxes:
[1] Flower, [2] Fish, [3] Cat
---
Objects: Cow, Pumpkin, Rabbit
- Cow: Large animal — very heavy.
- Pumpkin: Medium-sized, but still heavier than a rabbit.
- Rabbit: Small animal — lighter than both.
Wait — let’s compare:
- Rabbit is lighter than pumpkin?
- A pumpkin can be heavy (e.g., 10–20 lbs), but a medium rabbit is maybe 5–10 lbs.
- So, rabbit < pumpkin < cow
But wait — is a cow really heavier than a pumpkin? Yes, obviously.
So:
1. Rabbit (lightest)
2. Pumpkin
3. Cow (heaviest)
✔ Order:
1. Rabbit
2. Pumpkin
3. Cow
➡️ Boxes:
[1] Rabbit, [2] Pumpkin, [3] Cow
---
Objects: Apple, Mushroom, Whale
- Apple: Small fruit — about 100–150g
- Mushroom: Smaller than an apple — maybe 50–100g
- Whale: Extremely heavy — even a baby whale is tons!
But here's a trick: This is a cartoon whale, probably meant to represent a small toy-like whale, not a real one. But in context of comparison, it's clearly exaggerated.
Even if it's a tiny cartoon whale, it's drawn as large as the mushroom and apple, but whales are massive.
But visually, the whale looks larger than the apple and mushroom — so likely heaviest.
Now, between apple and mushroom:
- An apple is usually heavier than a typical mushroom.
So:
1. Mushroom (lightest)
2. Apple
3. Whale (heaviest)
✔ Order:
1. Mushroom
2. Apple
3. Whale
➡️ Boxes:
[1] Mushroom, [2] Apple, [3] Whale
---
Objects: Dog, Leaf, Lollipop
- Dog: Small dog — maybe 10–20 lbs — fairly heavy.
- Leaf: Very light — barely weighs anything.
- Lollipop: Candy — maybe 50–100g — heavier than a leaf but much lighter than a dog.
So:
1. Leaf (lightest)
2. Lollipop
3. Dog (heaviest)
✔ Order:
1. Leaf
2. Lollipop
3. Dog
➡️ Boxes:
[1] Leaf, [2] Lollipop, [3] Dog
---
Objects: Carrot, Tree, Butterfly
- Carrot: Medium vegetable — maybe 100–200g
- Tree: Even a small tree is very heavy — hundreds of pounds
- Butterfly: Extremely light — grams or less
So:
1. Butterfly (lightest)
2. Carrot
3. Tree (heaviest)
✔ Order:
1. Butterfly
2. Carrot
3. Tree
➡️ Boxes:
[1] Butterfly, [2] Carrot, [3] Tree
---
Objects: Fish, Acorn, Barn
- Fish: Small fish — maybe 100g
- Acorn: Very small — a few grams
- Barn: Huge structure — extremely heavy
So:
1. Acorn (lightest)
2. Fish
3. Barn (heaviest)
✔ Order:
1. Acorn
2. Fish
3. Barn
➡️ Boxes:
[1] Acorn, [2] Fish, [3] Barn
---
| Row | Lightest → Heaviest |
|-----|----------------------|
| 1 | Flower → Fish → Cat |
| 2 | Rabbit → Pumpkin → Cow |
| 3 | Mushroom → Apple → Whale |
| 4 | Leaf → Lollipop → Dog |
| 5 | Butterfly → Carrot → Tree |
| 6 | Acorn → Fish → Barn |
> Note: The boxes under each image should be filled with numbers 1, 2, 3 indicating the order from lightest (1) to heaviest (3).
---
For each row, write:
- 1 under the lightest object
- 2 under the middle-weight object
- 3 under the heaviest object
---
```
[1] [2] [3]
Cat Fish Flower
```
Wait! That’s wrong — flower is lightest, so it gets 1.
So:
```
[3] [2] [1]
Cat Fish Flower
```
Yes! So you assign numbers based on weight, not position.
