Grade 2 students sort small and large items into light (ounces) and heavy (pounds) groups in this hands-on worksheet. Think of a strawberry versus a watermelon, or a feather versus a bowling ball. Fill-in-the-blanks reinforce unit names, and true or false questions check understanding. This Grade 2 activity builds a strong sense of how size and heaviness connect to choosing the right measurement unit.
