How to Make Your Own Balance Scale

Learn About Weights and Measures at Home

Materials Needed

A plastic hanger or a wooden hanger with notches.

String or yarn

A single-hole punch

Two identical paper or plastic cups

A pair of scissors

How to Make the Scale

1. Measure two pieces of string about 30cm long and cut.

2. Make holes to attach the string to the cups. Make a mark about 2cm below the rim on the outside of each cup.

3. Use the single-hole punch to make holes in each cup. Punch a hole on either side of the cup, along the 2cm mark.

4. Attach the hanger to the wall, using a cup hook, doorknob or a level bar for hanging clothes or towels.

5. Tie the string to each side of the cup and let it sit in the notch of the hanger. The string should support the cup like the handle of a bucket.

6. Repeat this process with the second cup.

7. Steady the hanger to make sure the cups are hanging at the same level. If they are not; adjust the string until they are even. When they look even, use a piece of tape to secure the string in the hanger’s notches.

Comparing Mass

Find 6 objects to compare and measure using the balance scales at school or ones you have made at home. You can try hefting them with your hands. In the table below, write a comparison sentence and draw a picture to show the weight of each of the items.
