Measurable Attributes of Objects
Describe and identify measurable attributes of objects such as length, height, weight, and capacity; use comparative language (longer, shorter, heavier, lighter, more, less)
What a learner can do afterwards
- Identify that a pencil has length and can be measured
- Describe multiple attributes of one object (e.g. a bottle has height, weight, and capacity)
- Use words like 'long', 'heavy', 'full' to describe objects
The lesson
Every object has things you can measure. A pencil has length, so it can be long or short.
Mia picks up a water bottle. It has height. It has weight. When it is full, that is its capacity.
Use words like long, short, heavy, light, full, and empty. These words describe things without any tools.
You can describe and compare objects using length, weight, height, and capacity.
