The weight of any wood sheet good can vary based on species, moisture content, adhesive used, etc. However, a 1/4" x 48" x 96" sheet of LAUAN weighs approximately 17.5 pounds.
It depends what the "ply" value is ... the number of layers glued together. For instance, 1/2" plywood is going to be lighter then 3/4" plywood. A common rule of thumb is a 4x8 foot sheet of 1/4" fir plywood weighs 25 pounds. There are 32 square feet in a sheet, so a square foot of 1/4" fir plywood weighs about 0.78 pounds. Since 1/2" is twice as thick as 1/4", 1/2" fir plywood weighs twice as much, or 1.56 lbs, and 3/4" three times as much, or about 2.34 lbs. Fir plywood is common, but other species are available. Weight varies considerably between species of wood, so be aware the weight of plywood of different species can be different.

Lets say you have a 1 foot by 1 foot piece of plywood. Lets also say that your feet are 12 inches long and when both feet are together are 12 inches wide. Now if you stood on the plywood with both feet you would be distributing your weight over the entire 1 foot by 1 foot area (distributed loading). If you took the same piece of plywood and were able to apply all your weight through your finger and placed that somewhere in the plywood, that point would be loaded at that single point (point loading).
