Abstract

The article describes the work of pupils constructing their own weights for a lever balance. One way is to combine plastic bottle lids with pellets and wax to achieve the desired mass. Pupils use idea to make the weights from wood. For this purpose they calculated the dimensions of a wooden cube, which corresponded approximately to the mass of the weight.
