3rd Grade Measuring Mass in Grams

3rd Grade Measuring Mass in Grams Worksheet (Matter and Energy, TEKS 3.6A)

Students learn that mass is how much matter is in an object, put a spoon, nail, block, and apple in order from lightest to heaviest using their masses in grams, then decide which statements about mass are true. Simple black and white doodles and big, easy to read text keep the focus on the science, not the reading. No prior knowledge is needed: the page teaches the idea first.

What's Inside

• A teach strip on mass, grams, pan balances, and digital scales
• Part A: number four objects from lightest to heaviest, with one done
• Part B: circle True or False, including the idea that bigger does not always mean more mass
• A friendly squirrel guide that points out the key idea
• A visual answer key with answers marked in red, plus a short teacher note

How Teachers Use It

Use it as a mini lesson follow up, a quick check, or a science center. It takes 6 to 8 minutes and prints clearly in black and white. The focus skill is measuring and comparing mass in grams, part of the grade 3 matter and energy strand.

Why It Works

Each sheet teaches one idea with everyday objects kids already know. Every activity has a done for you example, and students only circle, sort, number, or write a letter or word, so they can finish on their own. Wrong choices are believable, not silly, so students have to think. Pair it with the other Matter and Energy sheets to cover properties, measuring, states of matter, changes of state, and choosing and combining materials.
