Make learning about weight and measurement practical, visual and engaging with the edx education® 1 Litre Pan Balance. This hands-on balance scale allows children to compare different materials and discover that objects or containers of a similar size can have very different weights. With clear graduated pans and a sliding compensator for calibration, it provides an accessible way to explore weighing, comparing and mathematical reasoning. Ideal for classrooms, science activities and home learning.

Benefits for All Learners
Supports Development
The Pan Balance helps children develop an understanding of weight, measurement, comparison and equivalence through practical investigation. Filling, pouring and balancing the pans also provides opportunities to develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, concentration and problem-solving.
Inclusive Design
The clear pans and hands-on design make weight and measurement concepts easier to see and understand. Children can physically compare different materials and observe the effect on the balance, making it particularly useful for learners who benefit from visual and tactile learning, including children with additional learning needs, while remaining engaging for all learners.
Encourages Social Learning
Ideal for paired and group investigations, children can predict which material will be heavier, test their ideas and discuss the results together. These activities encourage communication, teamwork, mathematical language and scientific thinking.
