Rani’s Gift (Measurement)

Answer

Measurement is finding out how long, how heavy, or how much something is. We use different tools to measure different things like rulers for length and balance for weight.

Answer

We can use blocks, paper clips, erasers, or a ruler to measure the length of a pencil. We count how many blocks or clips are needed to match the pencil's length.

Answer

The table is longer because 5 blocks is more than 2 blocks. The table is 3 blocks longer than the book.

Answer

The shortest path between two points is a straight line. This means going directly from one place to another without making turns or curves.

Answer

Using thread is better because you can place the thread on each path and then compare the lengths. Just looking can sometimes trick our eyes.

Answer

Heavier means something weighs more. If you hold two things, the heavier one will feel harder to lift or will push down more on your hand.

Answer

Lighter means something weighs less. A lighter object is easier to lift and doesn't push down as much on your hand compared to a heavier object.

Answer

A balance is a tool used to compare weights of objects. It has two sides - the side that goes down has the heavier object, and the side that goes up has the lighter object.
