Mass vs Weight for Kids

The difference between mass and weight can be a hard concept for students to understand. This poster has been created to display in your classroom. In a clear and understandable way – this poster reminds students of the difference between weight and mass.

Weight is the measure of how hard gravity pulls down on an object.
Mass is the measure of the amount of matter an object contains.

It’s crucial that students understand the difference between mass and weight as it helps them to learn more about physics, space, and how our planet works.

Mass vs Weight Activity for Kids

Use two objects from the classroom that have different masses and weight them. Then drop the objects from the same height and see what happens. This is a great way to learn and discuss the concept that while mass is different, gravity affects the objects in the same way meaning the objects will hit the ground at the same time.
