What is this and what can we use it for?

Teacher: What do you think this is?
Student M: It's a measuring box!
Student J: It looks like a truck.
Student C: We could put quarters in it!
 Teacher: Why would we put quarters in it?
Student T: When you go to the store it tells you how much it is?

Teacher: What happens if I put the cubes on one side and the rooster on the other side?
Student M: It got heavier and it tilted. It can measure what it weighs.
Student MP: Yeah, its tells you how heavy or light it is.

Teacher: What can we do with the cubes?
Student B: Put them in and count them.
Teacher: When do I stop putting the cubes in?
Student B: When both sides are the same!

Students continued to count while we put the cubes in  and they counted 15 cubes were the same as the rooster.
Teacher: What can we say about the rooster and the cubes in a sentence.
Student M: The rooster weighs 15 cubes!
Teacher: Boys and girls lets repeat the sentence together!
Everyone: The rooster weighs 15 cubes.
