Students discover the metric system through video clips and Internet activities. In this measurements lesson plan, students practice using the units of measure for the metric system and compare them to the less popular English system....

Students explore physical science by conducting a measurement experiment. In this mass instructional activity, students identify the differences between mass and weight and define a list of other vocabulary terms. Students utilize...

Students explore the concept of mass, and how it differs from weight. They also calculate their weight change as they ride up and down on an elevator. They record the changes in their weight as the elevator moves graph the collected data.

Students make generalizations about weight and mass by engaging in two hands-on experiments. For this weight and mass lesson, students weigh both an empty beaker and beakers with various amounts of weight inside of them in order to find...

The first STEM lesson in a group of 10 explores composting. After discussing how to make a better tomorrow, classes are challenged to track garbage in their communities, visit a local waste management facility, and conduct a survey...

Students describe how objects in the universe range from smaller than atoms to larger than galaxies. they explain how the metric system works and compare it to the English system of measurement.

Learners 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 measure the speed of moving marbles and use the results to calculate velocity and momentum. They analyze the events preceding a Japanese train crash.

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of mental math. They perform calculations as following: recognizing a half, three quarters, and tenths. Students are also challenged to extend skills to making calculation...

High schoolers examine World War I war crimes. In this world history instructional activity, students use primary and secondary sources to research and understand the systematic nature of the Armenian Genocide. High schoolers reflect on...
