The balance scale helped my kindergarteners learn about weight through hands-on play. They were able to visually and physically discover that heavier objects dip while lighter objects rise and they were able to weigh their classroom objects and count how many cubes it would take to equal the same wight as their objects. They really had fun learning about weight.","fullyFundedDate":1758906010889,"projectUrl":"project/math-and-science-essentials/9710836/","projectTitle":"Math and Science Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rivera, NBCT","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp664484_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1450484470328","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-contreras-rivera"},{"teacherId":664484,"projectId":9615694,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping to fund our math resources.
