It's not just a slideshow, it's a lesson on mass. First, learners complete a mental math warm-up, where they determine the number before and after a series of given numbers, then they form groups to weigh packages and compare mass....

Learners estimate and determine the number of cents (pennies) that are needed to equal the mass of a variety of common objects. They develop a process for measuring and explore concepts related to units of measurement.

Promote healthy lifestyles with an interactive that provides young learners with healthy nutrition and exercise messages. Class members plug their height and weight information into an online body mass index calculator, and hear positive...

From temperature and mass, to length and volume, there are many different types of measurement. Expose young learners to a variety of measurement tools using this slide show of real-life pictures. Go through the presentation one image at...

Youngsters test magnetic strength by measuring the mass of paper clips that they "hook" with a magnet. Your first and second graders should love the hands-on activities associated with this plan. The reproducible materials are quite good...

In this count nouns, mass nouns, and noun quantifiers worksheet, students categorize count nouns and mass nouns and fill in the blanks with the correct noun quantifiers. Students write 37 answers.

Students experiment to find which liquids are more dense.  In this density and mass lesson, students predict and then test objects to observe and measure their density. students observe which items sink and float. Students complete...

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...

Second graders measure weight, mass, and capacity. In this measurement instructional activity, 2nd graders model how to measure amounts of liquid by using containers that measure one cup, one pint, and one quart. Students compare the...

Students explore and analyze the relationship between density, mass, volume and ratios. They complete a lab to define mass and volume and then show the density that equals a mass and volume formula. Their lab involves a suitcase,...

Students study matter. In this science lesson plan, students examine the relationships among gravity, weight, and mass, the metric measurement of distance and volume, and density and its application to physical properties.

Students participate in a discussion of volume and density and then engage in a hands on lab. They weigh equal volume cubes at lab stations of an assortment of common substances in a lab setting and record data on their findings on...

Students observe the differences and similarities between "masterpieces" and mass-produced objects. They analyze the value of masterpieces and mass-produced items. Students persuade panel members to accept items that they recommend into...

Students investigate the ingredients and creation of chewing gum.  In this scientific method lesson, students make predictions about what will happen to the mass of a piece of gum as it is chewed by a human.  Students graph the...

Students explore the water cycle. In this water cycle lesson, students simulate the water cycle by placing an ice cube in a Ziploc bag and observing the changes which occur over time. Students record the mass of the Ziploc bag and record...

Students compare the weight of the students's favorite soft toys directly and then indirectly using beads.

Students explore the concept of weight and mass and the importance of units. Using a balance, they determine the weight of various objects in the unit of "pebbles" and in grams.

Jeff, Steven, and Donna are ordering juice, and it's up to your scholars to determine how many liters they get all together. There is a visual to help scholars add up these amounts, and everyone orders in single-digit liters. There is an...

Students explore the different arrangement of air molecules in high and low air pressure masses. They compare the temperature of high and low pressure masses and discover how a barometer works.

Second graders sped the day exploring about balance by playing with and making balancing toys. They discover how varying the amount and position of mass affects the toys' balance. Pupils explore gravity and balance while playing with the...

Challenge your second graders with a learning exercise on units of measurement! Not only do they put their measurement skills to the test, but kids practice word problem strategies as well. The second part of the resource prompts...

Young scientists learn that seeing isn't necessarily believing when it comes to the states of matter. After performing a fun class demonstration that models the difference between solids, liquids, and gases, children complete a series of...

How does matter change and what are its properties? This presentation is a bit scattered and attempts to infuse humor in place of concrete definitions. In order to make this worthwhile for classroom use, you will need to add to it.

Students identify what mass is and how to measure an object with a balance in gram units. Students identify weight and how to measure with a spring scale in units of force. Students compare the masses of two objects by placing each on...
