What a Drag!
Stop and drop what is in your hand! Pupils investigate how form effects drag in the 12th part of a 22-part unit on aviation. Groups create equally weighted objects and determine which one falls the fastest by collecting data.

Making Predictions About Measurement
Upper graders experiment with measurement. They estimate the length, volume, and weight of various objects, then rotate through stations making predictions concerning measurements and then testing their predictions.
Curated OER
Measures
Estimate and explore the length and weight of classroom items using standard measurement and scales. Students will work in groups to determine appropriate measuring tools, weigh or measure items, and record their results on a data chart....

Weighted Averages
Weighted averages can be tricky to explain! However, this study guide makes it easy for teachers by including definitions, explanations, and breaking down problems into three steps. Includes mixture problems and uniform motion problems.
Teaching Adapted PE
Locomotor and Object Control Stations
Develop children's basic locomotor and object control skills with an invigorating Adaptive PE lesson. A series of four, timed stations engaged the class in playing a game of Twister, walking on a balance beam, throwing bean bags, and...

Customary Units of Weight Practice 13.7
In this customary weights worksheet, students solve 13 problems in which the weights of objects are estimated, ordered and converted. All are standard units of weight.
Curated OER
Compare Weight
In this comparing weights learning exercise, students observe sets of three objects and number them from lightest to heaviest. Students solve 9 problems.
Curated OER
Weight and Velocity
Students perform an experiment in order to determine how increasing weight affects the velocity of a truck and use the computer to compile their data.
Curated OER
Mass-to-Weight Problems
In this mass learning exercise, students calculate the weight of an object on Earth compared with the weight of that same object on the moon. This learning exercise has 10 problems to solve.
Curated OER
Object Sorting
First graders follow directions when sorting objects. They illustrate how objects are categorized by drawing at least two of the categories that they sorted the objects into. Students work in small groups at completing the task of...

How Much is a Pound? A Weight Lesson
Fourth graders explore weight in pounds. In this measurement lesson, students estimate the weight of teacher-provided objects, measure the actual weight of the objects using scales, and discuss food products sold by the pound. This...
Curated OER
Compare Weight
In this comparing weight word problem worksheet, learners use logical reasoning to determine which objects are heavier or heaviest. Students solve six problems.
Curated OER
Measuring Weight, Mass, and Capacity
Second graders investigate the concept of measuring weight, mass, and capacity. In this measurement worksheet, 2nd graders compare items using the words "more than" or "less than." They predict whether an item weighs more or less than a...
Curated OER
Weights in Pounds
Second graders define "pound," estimate and compare weights, and classify objects as weighing more or less than a pound.
Curated OER
Science: Gravity, Mass, and Weight
Third graders discover the interrelationship between weight, mass, and gravity by conducting several simple experiments. After individually weighing objects, they graph the weights on worksheets. Extensions include making flip books...
