Simple Scales / Pan Balance

The Simple Scales Pan Balance is a practical classroom weighing and measurement resource designed to help children explore weight, mass and capacity through hands-on learning.

Ideal for primary schools, early years classrooms, STEM activities and home learning, this durable pan balance makes mathematical and scientific measurement more interactive and accessible.

Made from durable plastic, the large pan balance features 1,000ml graduated pans, allowing children to compare and measure solids and liquids during practical activities.

The clear graduated markings help introduce children to measurement and capacity while encouraging them to make comparisons and investigate different quantities.

The hands-on design provides opportunities for children to experiment with objects and materials, predict which side will be heavier, compare quantities and explore how different amounts affect the balance. It is particularly useful for maths, science and sensory learning activities where children can develop an understanding of weight and measurement through practical investigation.
