Weight and Capacity
What is Weight?
Weight is how heavy something is.
Weight is measured using a weighing machine.
We measure weight using units like grams (g) and kilograms (kg).
Example:
A pencil may weigh about 10 grams.
A school bag may weigh about 3 kilograms.
In short, weight shows <how much something weighsî or <how heavy it is.î

Standard Units of Weight
Kilogram (kg) and gram (g) are common units.
Heavier objects ³ measured in kilograms (e.g., rice bag).
Lighter objects ³ measured in grams (e.g., chocolates).

Different Units but Same 
Measure
Sometimes, the same weight can be expressed in different 
units:
Kilograms (kg)
Bag A: 2 kg
Grams (g)
Bag P: 2000 g

Converting Between Units
We can use a double number line to help us convert between 
units:
1 kg
equals
1,000 g
3.5 kg
equals
3,500 g
2.5 kg
equals
2,500 g
To convert from kg to g, multiply by 1,000
To convert from g to kg, divide by 1,000
