I did this over 2 days with my Year 3 class.
On the second day I brought in some items from home for them to weigh to hold their interest (cd's, fruit, candle, mug, ect,.)
The children were so excited to finally find out what was inside the mystery bag as it had been sitting on the shelf all week and it was definitely a great incentive to improve their estimates as the person with the closest guess of it's weight would win whatever was inside (it was a pack of Starburst).
Included: 2 detailed lesson plans with curriculum links and 2 worksheets I made to record their practical work in.
*As I realized the scales we were using didn't have a decimal place instead of covering rounding we worked on finding the difference and subtracting across zero's during the input for day 2.
