The red Beginner's Balance beam scale by Learning Resources teaches the principle of weight and balance in a clear and visual way. The set includes two integrated plastic weighing pans as well as 12 colorful bear counters in different sizes and in blue, yellow, red, and green. By placing the bears on the two pans, children can directly observe how the scale beam tilts or balances. The interaction of figures with different weights enables simple weight comparisons and early mathematical experiments completely without additional tools.
