Elementary and middle schoolers identify different units of liquid measurement. They use the online Visual Thesaurus to learn about the relationships between units of liquid measurement.

Students convert among liquid measurement units. In this measurement lesson, students use Visual Thesaurus to gather information about customary units for liquid measure such as cup, pint, and quart, then students practice converting...

Third graders investigate liquid measurements by estimating how many cups it takes to fill containers. The students predict the liquid measurements and then find the actual amount using the water in a bucket. Students then compare...

Youngsters develop mathematical vocabulary with this worksheet. First, give youngsters time to identify their vocabulary words in the picture provided. Then, as a group, practice saying the vocabulary words aloud. Finally, have learners...

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.

Students use an appropriate unit of measure to measure an item in the classroom. They create a PowerPoint to demonstrate the measurement process. Pupils are divided into pairs. Students use a concept map to discuss the terms for...

Young scholars observe liquids in different containers and then explore the concept that liquids have level surfaces. They identify those who are not at the center to reinforce the concept of liquid levels with a representational puzzle...

Investigate bubbles through the use of scientific inquiry. Pupils blow bubbles using several methods and measure the resulting bubble print. Measurements are recorded on a data table and transferred to a bar graph. Results are discussed...

Third graders examine the non-standard method of measurement and compare it to the metric system of measurement. In this introductory module instructional activity, 3rd graders discover the scientific observation. Students also develop...

Students explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Students explore the measurements of capacity by constructing a creative project in the shape of a man. The man has body parts that represent different units of measurement and can be used to make conversions. This is highly concrete and...

Third graders practice measuring different objects. They discover the concepts of ratio and proportion and practice converting numbers into the correct unit. They read stories as well to help them with the concepts.

Students follow a recipe to make ice cream. In this ice cream lesson plan, students make their own ice cream by measuring out ingredients and following directions.

There's nothing quite like a glass of ice-cold, freshly squeezed lemonade. Lesson seven of this series explains how the water humans need to survive can come in many forms. Teach your class about how much water humans require every day...

Students use standard rulers to measure the length of common classroom items - such as pencils, books, desk tops - in inches and centimeters, and measure weight in pounds. They also answer math questions, such as "How long is the front...

Third graders read a thermometer with accuracy, record observations and data, and infer conceptual meaning. They integrate mathematical charting and graphing skills to organize their data. They explore what happens when they touch or use...

Students research the history of measurement in this lesson. They compare todays units of measurement to historical units of measurement. For example, they weigh themselves on a bathroom scale and figure out how many of them it would...

Young scientists transform themselves into rivers, oceans, clouds, and drops of water in order to explore the water cycle. After assigning and explaining to students their different roles in the activity, the teacher reads aloud a...

Students explore the properties of matter.  In this cross curriculum three states of matter science lesson plan, students listen to the poem "Eighteen Flavors" by Shel Silverstein, and predict what will happen if listed ingredients...

Students examine the food pyramid. In this health/math lesson students make biscuits. Students are assigned a group to measure out ingredients. Students also discuss which part of the food pyramid biscuits fall into and the nutritional...

Young ornithologists watch an informative video and use the Internet to gather data about the life, size, habitat, and migration of hummingbirds. The interdisciplinary lesson plan includes activities that target art, science, math, and...

Students measure their bodies. In this math lesson plan, students record their height and weight. Students measure themselves in six months and observe any changes.

In this measuring worksheet, students explore, examine and discuss the best strategy for measuring objects. Students calculate the answers to five measuring word problems.

Students carry out a cost analysis. In this comparative math instructional activity, students compare the cost of equal measures of gasoline to mouthwash, house paint, fruit juice, white-out, and other liquids.
