How Does Grams, Kilograms and Tonnes ► Understanding Weight & Mass Work?

Grams, kilograms, and tonnes are different ways to measure how heavy things are, like comparing how many candy bars you can carry in your backpack or how much a whole elephant weighs.

Grams are like the tiny bits of weight we use for small stuff. Imagine a paper clip, that’s about 1 gram! If you have 100 paper clips, that's 1 kilogram, which is like having a big bag of sugar.

Kilograms help us measure bigger things. A backpack full of books might weigh around 3 kilograms, that's like carrying three bags of sugar!

Now, if we go even bigger, we use tonnes. One tonne is equal to 1000 kilograms, that’s like having a small car or an elephant standing on your scale!

So next time you’re at the grocery store or playing with toys, think about how many grams or kilograms something might weigh, it's just like counting candy bars or comparing backpacks!
