Third graders use the appropriate units of measure when given a list of items to estimate and measure. They work in cooperative groups to locate, estimate, and measure given items using the correct unit of measurement.

Students convert standard units of measurement to metric units using tape measures, meter sticks, rulers, and online conversion calculators.

Students explore kinetic and potential energy. In this energy lesson, students launch toys cars from ramps in order to examine the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy. Students collect data and graph the results.

In this math resource worksheet, students can print out paper rulers. They choose between 20 different rulers that are different widths, and are delineated with standard or metric measurements.

Students translate a mathematical idea from one form to another. They compare and convert a given measurement to another unit within the same measurement system.

Learners practice the fundamentals of converting metric measurements. They translate a mathematical idea from one form to another and compare and convert a given measurement to another unit within the same measurement system. Students...

Students design their dream gardens and work together to build a class model. They use software to create a virtual model. They only use metric measurements.

In this Geometry Chapter 13 review worksheet, students complete 20 multiple choice questions and 1 bonus question regarding volume, dilation, and midpoint and distance between points of 3D objects.

In this rectangle activity, students find the areas of rectangles and draw squares to a given size, Examples and explanations are provided prior to the exercises. There are eight problems provided on this two-page activity.

Middle schoolers practice estimation skills for measurement, and work with metric units of measurement.

Students review how to use an inch ruler and listen to the story, Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni. In this measuring instructional activity, students work in small groups to create an Inch Poster. Students then use an inch ruler to measure...

In this parallelogram learning exercise, students find the area and perimeters and complete a chart to show the length, width and perimeter for different rectangles with a given area. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.

Pupils use a simple machine (a lever) to launch a plastic frog. students determine who is able to make their frog "jump" the farthest and graph the results.

Students design, construct and interpret a model of geologic time and investigate change through geologic time.

Students construct a spacecraft out of Lego blocks and other materials. They work on their models in small groups while building. They become familar with the planets while working cooperatively.

Students apply their knowledge of scale when mapping the classroom. They determine the use of a map legend and orient a map using a compass. They create the classroom maps using transfer graph paper.

Students practice determining the most appropriate units for a given situation while measuring attributes of objects, systems and processes of measurement. They review the concepts of angles, perimeter, area, surface area and volume.

Students collect, organize, and display data using a bar graph, line graph, pie graph, or picture graph. They write a summary describing the data represented and compare the graph to another graph in the class.

Third graders engage in a instructional activity that is concerned with the estimate and approximation of different masses. They weigh different objects and compare the different measurements and then use a balance to compare them....

Students complete a Cirlce Map about time. They recall times during the grouchy ladybugs travels, and add dots on ladybugs using turn-around facts. Pupils correctly sequence the events of The Grouchy Ladybug. Students compose new...

Third graders investigate physics by conducting an experiment.  In this gravity lesson, 3rd graders create a ramp using books and paper which they roll a marble down.  Students utilize the scientific method to predict and...

Second graders create a thermometer.  In this Celsius or Fahrenheit lesson, 2nd graders create an individual thermometer to use for measuring the temperature.  Students convert the outside temperature. 

Students participate in an hands-on construction of an instrument to measure wind speed.

In this converting metric units of length worksheet, students convert centimeters, meters, and kilometers. Students solve 20 problems.
