Students measure an assortment of items using metric measurements. In this measurement lesson, students measure using length, mass, and volume units of measurement. They convert between units. Students learn a mnemonic to assist in...

Students measure using the metric system. In this geometry activity, students solve problems using grams, meters and liters. They convert between the US units of measurements and the Metric System.

Lead the class in a review of the basic concepts and procedures involved in measuring length, weight, and volume. After whole group instruction, small groups and individuals practice measuring by completing a variety of fun activities...

Explore various types of measurement with fourth graders. They will practice using balance pans to measure the weight of a coin and a graduated cylinder to determine the displacement volume for a bolt. The metric system will be the focus...

Review and use standard units of measure with your math class. They move from station to station estimating and measuring length, volume, weight, and area. At each station they estimate and measure, and then compute the difference...

Students participate in a metric Olympics. In this metric measurement lesson, students participate in 6 events that require them to predict, estimate, and measure lengths, masses, and area in metric units.

Middle schoolers explore geometry by completing a physics activity on-line. In this mass measurement lesson, pupils define the terms mass, volume, and density and identify their relationship with each other. They complete an on-line...

Learners explore the metric system. In this science lesson plan, students familiarize themselves with the metric system as they participate in a hands-on activity.

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

Fourth graders investigate the weight/mass of a number of items using grams, and equivalents. They examine the use of a triple beam balance before massing objects including oil and water. They go over the weights they amassed and weigh...

Students investigate measurement. In this library lesson plan, students discuss measurement, read Millions to Measure by David Schwartz, and complete a worksheet. Extra related activities are included in the lesson plan that appeals to...

Students participate in experiments at five stations to practice measurement. In this measuring lesson, students are presented different produce and objects and must measure with an appropriate tool. Students use metric and customary...

Students solve problems using the metric system. For this algebra lesson, students convert between the metric system and the Imperial system. They use these two systems to solve real life problems.

Fourth graders explore weight in pounds. For 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....

Here is a lesson that rocks! Young scientists choose a rock and list words that describe it. They estimate the mass of their rocks and rank them within a group. They measure their rocks for volume and write a story that somehow includes...

Students determine the density of metal shot by a graphical method using significant digits in making measurements and calculations. Students graph a seris of laboratory measurements and determine density from a mass verses volume graph.

Middle schoolers investigate Nanotechnology. In this physic's lesson, students evaluate a hands-on model made from chocolate syrup and pretzels to determine the advantages of size.  Middle schoolers weigh chocolate syrup to...

Fourth graders calculate density, compare densities of solids and liquids, measure liquids using a balance, and investigate the significance of density. They conduct an experiment to determine an order of densities, and complete a...

Students analyze velocity and how it is determined. They experiment with velocity in order to measure and calculate the magnitude of speed. They use examples in their novel "Skateboard Renegade" to relate velocity to real life situations.

Students design and build a balance using LEGO, string, and a set of standard metric weights.

Students listen to story, "The 100-Pound Problem," compare their weight with character in story, and weigh different classroom items using nonstandard units and standard units. They experiment with different items that can make scale...

Students describe and classify rocks that they have chosen. They estimate and find the mass of their rocks.

Fourth graders experiment to determine how overpopulation effects ecosystems specifically plants. In this ecosystem lesson plan, 4th graders conduct an ecosystems experiment after listening to Claire Daniel's, Ecosystems. They watch a...

Students study reaction rates, what determines how fast a reaction happens and how the chemical changes occur.  In this reactions lesson students complete a lab where they use Alka-Seltzer to observe reaction rate and create a graph...
