In this liquid volume worksheet, students first practice measuring liquid volume by determining what volume is indicated on each of the graduated cylinders in milliliters for the first nine problems. Then they determine the temperature...

Fifth graders find the area and volume of buildings. In this architecture lesson, 5th graders look at the drawings of three historic Tennessee buildings. They use these to help find the area and volume of the building. 

In this converting units learning exercise, students solve 10 different problems that include using metric units in each. They complete each listed unit of measurement by converting each to its proper length, capacity, or mass. Students...

Learners calculate the surface area of two cubes given the length of the sides. For the other two diagrams, given the volume of the cube, they determine the measure of the sides. I like the way they move forward and backward with the...

There's no need to think outside the box for this one! Scholars measure the length, width, and height of various boxes. Results help develop the formulas for the surface area and volume of rectangular prisms.

Learners examine objects and find their volumes using geometric formulas in the 21st installment of this 25-part module. Objects take the shape of truncated cones and pyramids, and individuals apply concepts of similar triangles to find...

Maximizing resources is essential to productivity. Class members complete an activity to show how math can help in the process. Using a piece of construction paper, learners construct a box with the maximum volume. Ultimately, they...

Geometric design makes a fashion statement! Challenge learners to design a hat to fit a Styrofoam model. Specifications are clear and pupils use concepts related to three-dimensional objects including volume of irregular shapes and...

Just how big would it really be? Young mathematicians determine if different toys are proportional and if their scale is accurate. They solve problems relating scale along with volume and surface area using manipulatives. The...

Take a shot using a lesson on volume! Young learners watch a video showing a trashcan filling with paper balls. The task is to calculate the number of paper balls that will fit in the can. Pupils use volume calculations to make a...

Applying this metric worksheet, mathematicians will provide standard metric units of measurement, identify the largest and best way to measure items using the metric system, and convert units using King Henry.

To take the longest path, go around—or was that go over? Class members measure scale drawings of a cylindrical vase to find the height and diameter. They calculate the actual height and circumference and determine which is larger.  

Every pupil with a sweet tooth will be clamoring for this lab and analysis, particularly when they're allowed to eat the results! Volume and surface area formulas for cones are developed from models, and then extended to the printing of...

What's the moral of this story? Units save lives! Teach measurement conversion through storytelling in a quick math-based lesson. Young scientists learn how one country's decision to swap from imperial to metric standard units caused an...

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 find the volume of spheres. In this geometry lesson, students measure and derive the formula for each shape and solid. They use the correct terminology and units when solving these problems.

Students explore measuring cups according to volume. In this capacity instructional activity, students investigate how to estimate volume to make a healthy snack. Students measure ingredients and prepare a snack.

Eighth graders use their knowledge of calculating the volume of cylinders to calculate the volume of trees. For this volume lesson plan, 8th graders identify why calculating the volume of cylinders would be valuable to a forester.

Students investigate the components of volume and use appropriate units and procedures to calculate the volume of several household boxes.

Students are able to measure various objects using English and metric systems within half of the smallest unit of the measurement device. Students identify units of length, volume, mass and temperature according to International System...

Third graders complete scientific investigation to determine what volume is and how it is determined by size not by mass. They discuss what they know about volume before proceeding with the demonstration and experimentation. After the...

In this volume worksheet, students list the steps they would use to find the volume of different gallon tanks. Students complete 5 measurement problems.

Students compare and contrast the mass, volume, and density of various objects. They use a triple beam balance, measure and record the volume of a cup of water, and discuss the results.

In this volume lab instructional activity, students are guided through an experiment to determine volume of a liquid. Kids determine water displacement. Students use a formula to calculate volume of a solid figure.
