Choose the Right Unit: Mass

Learn the difference between kilograms and grams with this engaging measurement worksheet! Students will be presented with six different items of varying sizes and weights. They will then need to decide whether grams or kilograms would be a better unit to use when finding the mass of each object. Then, students will come up with their own items that could be measured in grams and kilograms. 

This third-grade worksheet is designed to give students a reference for the difference between grams and kilograms. Students may know that grams are smaller, and kilograms are larger, but it can be difficult to truly grasp their relative weights until learners understand what kinds of objects can be measured with each unit.
