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.

Combines mathematical measurement with gardening skills. Third graders hunt for worms in the garden and try to find the longest one. They also measure and weigh vegetables that they harvest from the garden, measure rainfall amounts,...

Find the math in recipes. Young chefs will follow a recipe and investigate the total cost for materials. They measure amounts of food necessary for the recipe and compute the per person cost.

Students discover how units of measurement help people to categorize objects. In this measurement lesson, students discuss various units of measurement, use creativity to invent new possible units of measure, and learn the history of...

Primary learners participate in activities that help them explain how different things are measured. They create their own access number chart.

Third graders describe the difference between area and volume and also explain how various units of measure relate to one another.

Third graders use nonstandard concrete methods to estimate and record measurements of their body.

Students use descriptive vocabulary to discuss the attributes of matter. Then, they sort objects or pictures by the type of matter they are comprised of. Finally, students match objects of matter with similar attributes and create a...

Students compare the densities of different liquids. In this liquids lesson plan, students compare color, viscosity, weight, volume, and graph their findings.

Pupils explore circumference and diameter. In this math lesson plan, students apply their knowledge of circumference and diameter to solve mathematical riddles. Pupils apply this knowledge to find circumference and diameter of various...

Young scholars are given the task of designing an apartment. In groups, they practice estimating the area and perimeter of different shapes. After designing their space, they apply the same formulas to solving real-world story problems.

Students explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. For this surface area lesson, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons. Students utilize...

Students complete computer activities about estimating if items are more or less than a given amount. In this estimation lesson plan, students also estimate measurements around the classroom.

Students practice cooking by following recipe instructions.  In this measuring lesson, students read food recipes and collect the materials needed to make one batch, then double the recipe to create twice as much food....

Students compute the area of triangles in a computer program. In this measurement lesson plan, students complete 5 easy, 5 medium, and 5 hard problems.

Learners build and program a car to drive a specific challenge distance.They must at the end of the lesson, have the car that stops the closest to a challenge distance.

Students make a striking visual display showing the distribution of water on earth.

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.

Explore types of angles and the characteristics of each. After observing a PowerPoint Presentation, learners tour the school facilities and use a digital camera to capture prescribed angles. Using the digital pictures and written...

Students set up composting sites that allow food scraps and paper to be recycled by nature. They are introduced to one aspect of recycling; composting. Students see how God recycles as the worms change garbage into something that brings...

How do dams support bodies of water? Scholars engage in a hands-on STEM activity where they design, build, and test dams to learn about bodies of water and how humans use natural resources. They learn how criteria and constraints affect...

Students explore the solar system. In this planets lesson, students learn about the other planets in the solar system. They watch a video clip from National Geographic on the solar system, compare and contrast the planets and create a...

Third graders explore tessellations and the spatial concepts used in creating them.  In this tessellations lesson, 3rd graders rotate, reflect and transform shapes to create tessellations.  Students become familiar with the...

Young scholars explore the three states of matter. In this physics lesson, students are shown examples of solids, liquids, and gases. Young scholars make cookies and identify the three states of matter during the baking process.
