Lesson Planet has given me great ideas for 3rd grade science hands-on activities! I even got a note from one of my principals observing my class while I was using one of the lessons that I found through this website; she LOVED what I was doing and that the kids were excited and very involved.

Youngsters explore geometric measurements by studying area and volume. They use a ruler and unit squares to complete the area and volume activities. This lesson outlines exactly what the teacher should ask and say during the lesson.
Young mathematicians are shown a ruler, yardstick, tape measure and scale. They practice measuring length, width, height, and weight. They are then shown a thermometer, and discuss what a thermometer is used for. Everyone is shown how to read the temperature on the thermometer.
Fifth graders examine how to calculate elapsed time and examine a variety of schedules. They develop a time measurement chart, list ways their lives would be different without clocks, and list why having a schedule is helpful. Next they plan their own schedule for one afternoon, and complete a worksheet calculating elapsed time.
Second graders review measurements in inches and practice measuring different objects. As a class, they estimate various objects in their classroom and compare their estimation to the actual measurement. To end the lesson, they complete a journal with their measurements for future use.
Young scholars practice telling time on an analog clock. In this time measurement lesson, students use individual analog clocks to identify the hour and minute hand. Young scholars identify how to tell time by moving the hour and minute hand.
Learners examine how to measure and convert customary units of capacity. They convert liquid ingredients into fluid ounces, follow a recipe for Apple Orchard Punch that involves converting drink ingredients, and complete a worksheet.
Learners divide a poster board so everyone gets the same amount of area to decorate. Youngsters talk about the different ways to divide a rectangle. They measure their lines to make sure that each piece is equal and then decorate their given piece. A lesson that promotes a collaborative effort, as well!
Track how much paper their class uses in a week. They will pile their used paper into one place, each day the pile is measured. They make predictions about how much paper they would collect in a month, then recycle the paper.
Mark your class' mastery of measurement with this life-application math lesson. As they prepare for a class party, learners get relevant measuring experience! Scholars create an invitation that will fit into an envelope of a specific size, create appropriately-sized banners, and select the right size tablecloth. There are so many other aspects of party planning that will offer learning opportunities here. The links are also an excellent resource- check out the interactive clock!
Students study the number 100. In this measurement instructional activity students view a video and complete a lab activity on the number 100.
