The gram.
I would use grams, although i have heard both terms used. Hope you find out!
The number of the pencil is based on the type of carbon lead used inside. The thicker the carbon lead gets the higher the number of the pencil becomes. If you notice a mechanical pencil is 0.9mm in diameter so it would be called a #0.9 pencil. A #2 pencil's lead is 2mm in diameter. So Why would we call a pencil a #3 pencil? Because it's lead is 3mm in diameter.

The metric unit used to measure the mass of a pencil would be grams (g).
A book typically has more mass than a pencil due to the larger amount of material used to make the book compared to the pencil.
The units grams would be a good choice.
what would a pencil say to a hand?

You would use a scale. You are NOT smarter than a 5th grader!

Pencil lead is very narrow. Millimeter can be used to measure it.

A pencil has more mass than a paperclip because it contains more material, such as the wood casing and graphite core, compared to the thin wire of a paperclip. The density of the materials used in a pencil is also higher than that of a paperclip, contributing to the difference in mass between the two objects.
In my opinion, the best unit for measuring the weight of a pencil would be grams. :)* * * * *Grams may be used for measuring mass, but that is not the same as weight. The best unit is probably a milliNewton.
