Prediction

Prediciting means guessing what's going to happen in the future or next.

The book that I was reading was Grandparents day.

One of the predicition is, I think that grandma will make bacon and eggs but  this prediction. What really happened was that grandma was making muffins with bacon, grated cheese and an egg.

Another prediction is, I think that in the morning grandma and Pop went to the hall but it was incorrect. What really happened was the they went to the netball courts.

I think this is good way for predicting because when I read by myself I can use a Google Doc to take notes of my predictions.

Weight

Weight is how heavy is the object. The standard forms are g (grams), kg (kilograms). The tools to measure these are scale and balance.

Estimating is a educated guess to the amount of something is. If a person knows the weight of a whiteboard marker is 30g, then they can compare the weights with a balance or scale. If they know how much the weights are. They can make a estimation.

Converting is not easy. If a person wants to convert g (grams) to kg (kilograms) just divide the number by 1000. If someone wants to convert kg (kilograms) to t (tonnes) just divide the number by 1000.

Length is how long is an object is. The standard mesurement are mm (millimeter), cm (centimeter), m (meter) and km (kilometer). The tools for measuring these are rulers, meter ruler and the tape measure.

Estimating is a educated guess to the amount of something is. If a person knows the length of a table is 4 sticks, then they can compare the sticks with a ruler. If they know how long the sticks are. They can make a estimation.

Converting is not easy. If a person wants to convert cm (centimeters) to mm (millimeter) just multiply the number by 10. If someone wants to convert cm (centimeters) to m (meter) just divide the number by 100. 

Length can be estimated and coverted at the same time.
