Then we discussed with each other what we learned.
I then took out a beach ball and an apple.
We then filled out this and predicted first which we thought has more mass.
We then passed around the beach ball and the apple.
Then we talked about which REALLY had more mass. We soon discovered that even though the beach ball is larger, the apple has more mass and more weight. We also discussed why this is. We talked about how the beach ball has air inside and the apple has much more matter than just air inside, which made it have more weight.
Then we wrote what we discovered.

| The apple has more mass because their seeds are not air and seeds are solid. You'll notice the worksheets are different depending upon abilities. This student had more more lines to write with, where the first sheet was more of fill in. |
After this they worked in cooperating groups to decide which objects had more mass. I have to say after observing them, 100% of the children understood which objects had more mass and they could tell me why. This is also from April at Chalk Talk. You can find this on her Teachers Pay Teachers.
