2nd Grade Measurement Worksheets and Activities

In this measurement worksheet, students compare the weights of two objects using a balance scale. Learning how balance scales work helps students understand how to measure weight in units like grams or pounds. Worksheet instructions: Determine which object is heavier or lighter based on the balance scale. Circle the correct answer. Note that the questions at page bottom are challenging, requiring inferences (A is heavier than B, B is heavier than C, so A is heavier than C).
