Fifth graders complete measurement problems where they use powers of ten, read metric measurement tools, estimate measurements, and more. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders complete 10 problems.

Students are introduced to the concepts of specific heat and heat capacity. In groups, they design an experiment to test these two topics on various fabrics. They compare and contrast the amount of heat loss on the different materials...

Fifth graders rename measurements with cups, pints, quarts, and gallons. In this measurements lesson plan, 5th graders pour different amounts of liquid that they transfer from cups to pints to quarts and to gallons. The then have to...

Eighth graders study the scientific fields and how information can be monitored and recorded.  In this scientific inquiry lesson students view a PowerPoint presentation and complete a hands on activity. 

In this using milliliters and liters worksheet, students, working with a partner, problem solve and calculate the answers to six word problems.

Students design and conduct an experiment to compare the water-holding capacity of sand, soil, and moss. They measure the change in weight for each material after adding the same amount of water to each material.

Young scholars participate in a paper folding activity that has them create a ruler for measuring to the closest 1/16th of an inch.

Students study units of measure like cups, pints, quarts and gallons. They work in groups to create their own mixtures of trail mix using the measuring cups. Then they make a gorilla puzzle using a gallon bottle.

In this greatest common factor and division worksheet, students answer word problems about the greatest common factor and division of numbers. Students complete 10 multiple choice questions.

Students investigate the concept of soil and all its components. They collect samples from a local site and transplant it into a terrarium. Students identify the organic elements, clay ,silt, and other forms of debris. They also identify...

Young scholars investigate what causes the heat on Earth.  In this Earth heating lesson, students experiment with different heat sources and determine where the Earth gathers the most heat.  Young scholars explore vocabulary...

Third graders convert customary units of capacity to make a gallon man out of construction paper. They use the computer to make a tree map of gallons, quarts, pints, and cups to show these conversions.

In this capacity measurements activity, students study the illustrated images of the pints, quarts, and gallons. Students circle the set that holds more for the 7 problems.

Students measure their bodies. In this math lesson, students record their height and weight. Students measure themselves in six months and observe any changes.

Students aim to explain the need for standardization of units of measurement. They pose their own standards for the value of a kilogram and compare them with the currently used standard.

Students practice scientific inquiry while learning about bubbles. In this lesson about bubbles, students explore characteristics of bubbles. Students move through nine different "bubble" stations following directions and completing an...

In this OPEC Oil worksheet, students read the article, answer true and false questions, complete synonym matching, complete phrase matching, complete a gap fill, answer short answer questions, answer discussion questions, write, and more...

Fourth graders participate in an activity measuring length, weight and capacity. They incorporate physical movements to help them explore measurement.

What type of music is best to listen to while learning? In a short writing prompt, learners must determine if a scenario involving listening to music while memorizing material is an experiment or an observational study. The prompt also...

In this metric measurement learning exercise, students estimate lengths of items in centimeters, then use rulers to check estimates.

A well-designed, comprehensive, and attractive slide show supports direct instruction on how sonar and echolocation work. Contained within the slides are links to interactive websites and instructions for using apps on a mobile device to...

Step-by-step laboratory instructions are listed so that chemistry explorers can consider the solubility of potassium nitrate. They combined their results with other lab groups' results and then graphed the data to display the solubility...

Young scholars find the standard molar volume of a gas. For this molar volume of a gas lesson plan, students react magnesium metal and hydrochloric acid and collect the hydrogen gas produced using a gas collection tube. Young scholars...

How much rain can that cloud make? Through a simulation, the class estimates the amount of candy rain contained in different cup clouds. After probing the clouds using different methods, class members adjust their estimates. Participants...
