Small Friends Childcare

Exploring Heavy and Light in 4-Year-Old Kinder!

Our curious kinders had an amazing hands-on learning experience discovering which objects are heavy and which are light. Each child had a turn using the weighing scale, comparing different objects, and making their own predictions before testing them out.

This fun experiment was more than play—it was an introduction to STEM learning in action!

Benefits of the activity:

– Builds early maths and science concepts

– Encourages problem-solving and critical thinking

– Promotes hands-on exploration and curiosity

– Enhances turn-taking, patience, and cooperation

– Develops vocabulary and language around measurement & comparison

Our little scientists loved every moment of it!
