Any suggestions for a good durable scale which visitors could use to
weigh things they build?  We are designing an exhibit where kids will be
building/inventing all sorts of projects.  The approximate weight range
might be from a few ounces to a handful of pounds (maybe 5 tops?)  We
want the kids to be able to record various measurements and weight is
one of them.  They will be mounted on a table top so it will not be
likely that kids will stand on them (famous last words...) but we would
like there to be some finess since one aspect of use might be in how by
shaving off weight their invention might perform better.
 
Trying not to reinvent (or re-research) the wheel here. Any response is
appreciated.
