Sixth graders investigate metric measurements. In this metric measurement activity, 6th graders explore mass, capacity, and length. Students examine graduated cylinders and balance scales to obtain measurements. Resources are provided.

Learners measure lung capacity and explore factors that affect the amount of air the lungs can hold.

This worksheet would make a nifty quiz on the laws of thermodynamics. Nine multiple choice questions assess high schoolers' understanding of energy transfer, specific heat capacity, phase change, fusion, and vaporization. It is short but...

Practice converting units of measurement and reading data from a table. Young learners study a conversion table at the top of the page, and use the information about converting units of capacity (ounces, cups, quarts, etc.) to solve the...

Adorn your classroom or science lab with posters about units of measurement. Each page has pictures and symbols to show even struggling learners how to define volume, weight, and capacity.

You will appreciate a useful learning exercise for grasping an understanding of liquid volume and practicing metric unit conversions. All of the problems involve liters and milliliters, so the conversions are very elementary. Neat...

Math majors need not only to be able to solve problems, but also apply the skills to real-world situations. On this worksheet, they solve five problems in which they must convert units of capacity or liquid volume. Give this to your...

Here learners get to flex some serious algebraic muscles through an investigation of logistic growth. The properties of the constant terms in the logistic growth formula are unraveled in a short but content-dense...

Delve into the concept of economic growth with your class members, including why economic growth is important, what causes it, and how can countries encourage it.

See how changes in initial populations and parameters affect a biological community. Individuals use a special software program to simulate a desert community with five species. They adjust initial populations to see how the community...

Students examine the differences between air temperature and ground temperature.  In this investigative lesson plan students find NASA data on the Internet and use it to create a graph. 

Eighth graders measure in feet and inches and convert to explore the relationship between the converted measurements. In this measurement lesson, 8th graders use the whisker and box plot to represent the measurement of a cat. ...

Students determine how to convert measurement. For this English Measurement lesson, students discover interesting facts about the history of measurement. Students study formulas and practice using them.

First graders use rulers to measure in both standard notation and centimeters. In this measuring lesson plan, 1st graders discuss the importance of a measuring standard. Students measure in inches and centimeters. Students compare inches...

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.

Oceans absorb half of the carbon dioxide and 80 percent of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Scholars learn how and why the oceans store heat more effectively than land and how they help mitigate global warming. Pupils...

Thirsty plants soak up every bit of a rainfall, but what happens to the rain that hits the roof? Calculate the amount of rainwater from your school's roof with an Earth science activity, which brings measurement skills, observation...

In a series of activities, high schoolers research and compare batteries of different chemistries (such as nickel-cadmium), measure current and voltage, and use multimeters and math to compute their capacities. In the end, they try to...

Learn the ins and outs of the properties of water through an engaging slide show. The lesson presents different facts about water including phase change, heat of fusion, heat of vaporization, and specific heat among others. 

If objects have no heat, how do they can gain and lose it? Scholars experiment with heat, temperature, and specific heat of various substances. They create definitions for these terms based on their own conclusions to complete the fourth...

Eighth graders investigate the concepts that are related to measurement while focusing upon weight, mass, and capacity. They estimate the weight and mass relationship that is found in different problems. Students compare and contrast one...

Students use an appropriate unit of measure to measure an item in the classroom. They create a PowerPoint to demonstrate the measurement process. Pupils are divided into pairs. Students use a concept map to discuss the terms for...

Students study the effects of dietary supplements on bodily functions.  In this health lesson students calculate their caloric needs and research dietary supplements. 

How do you calculate your Body Mass Index, and why is this information a valuable indicator of health? Class members discover not only what BMI is and practice calculating it using the height and weight of six fictitious individuals, but...
