In a math or life science class, "mini-me" models are created with cardstock to reflect a 1:10 scale of students' bodies. Learners measure each others' heights with meter sticks, and then reduce the size by 10. After this exercise, they...

Seventh graders convert measurements in recipes to metric measurements and prepare the food items. They create a metric measurement cookbook.

Students create a ruler for the purpose of measurement using the standard and metric systems. The rulers are of different lengths and are compared to one another. Then students make conversions of different lengths using both systems of...

Scholars learn about the metric system and produce a presentation on how to convert within the metric system. They then develop a brochure in support of legislation requiring the use of the metric system.

Students compare and convert units of measurement within the United States customary system and within the metric system by baking cookies. Students discuss how to double the cookie recipe, how to make only half of the recipe, and how to...

Learners study water conservation. In this water conservation lesson, students participate in a water conservation experiment. Learners discover how to conserve water while washing their hands.

Students practice converting measurements into metrics. In groups, they translate a recipe from English into German and convert all measurements into metrics for the recipe. They examine the difference between United States and metric...

Learners participate in an hands-on construction of an instrument to measure wind speed.

Students examine concept of time, and explore difference between analog and digital clocks; students make art project to represent time and create a time-story problem and solution.

Fourth graders build an explorer vehicle which they program through an obstacle course to enter the tomb or temple to discover artifacts.

Students construct a spacecraft out of Lego blocks and other materials. They work on their models in small groups while building. They become familar with the planets while working cooperatively.

Students work together to convert scale dimensions to determine the true size of the International Space Station. They create a full-scale outline of the station. They share their layout with the class.
