In this observing size discrimination of apples worksheet, learners examine four pictures of apples with the same shape but different sizes. Students complete four activities.

Enhance your states of matter lessons with a hands-on science investigation that compares six different balls' color, texture, size, weight, ability to bounce, and buoyancy. 

Investigate the meaning of a sample proportion using this hands-on activity. Scholars collect data and realize that the larger the sample size the more closely the data resembles a normal distribution. They compare the sample proportion...

The way you use statistics can tell different stories about the same set of data. Here, learners use sets of data to determine which person sends the most text messages. They use random sampling to collect their data and calculate a...

How random is random? Demonstrate the different random sampling methods using a hands-on activity. Pupils use various sampling techniques to choose a random sample of elements from the periodic table. They use the different samples to...

In this solids, liquids and gases worksheet, students observe a teacher demonstration about gases and they experiment with liquids to show diffusion, shape and volume. They answer nine questions about the experiments related to solids,...

In this comparing plant and animal cell worksheet, students use a microscope to observe cheek cells and onion cells. They compare their observations and answer 3 questions about their discoveries.

Although this is a science activity, it can be adapted to help meet Common Core standards in math as well. Starting scientists describe physical properties of objects and explore three forms of water. To address the Common Core, they can...

Students compare, resize, and check various shapes by size using a comparison mat from the MathKeys program. Working in pairs, they place three similar shapes on the screen and state which is the largest and smallest in area. They also...

In this size comparison worksheet, students look at 4 ovals and 4 rectangles in two columns. They decide which shape is the shortest in each column and circle it.

Pupils create their own shape puzzles. They practice putting puzzle pieces together so they fit correctly. They classify and sort the different shapes as they finish the puzzle.

Students explore regular geometric shapes. In this shapes lesson, students investigate geometric shapes in the world around them. Students differentiate between regular and irregular shapes.

Space science stars journey through our night sky and take virtual photos of galaxies to investigate simple random samples. Higher math is used to analyze the data collected. Copy the evaluation/assessment questions onto a handout...

Young geometers and biologists investigate the math of nature in an activity that is just the bee's knees. Participants will study the tessellations of hexagons in a beehive, along with the natural rationale behind the specific shape....

Pupils analyze a pattern of conference tables to determine the number of tables needed and the number of people that can be seated for a given size. Individuals develop general formulas for the two growing number patterns and...

Linear measurement is the focus of this math instructional activity. Youngsters work in groups to build towers with blocks. They build towers represented on index cards and determine how many blocks taller one tower is.

Do your students have what it takes to be the king of math? Find out with this fun skills practice game that covers a wide range of topics from counting and basic operations to measurement and fractions.

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...

Create and investigate nets for solid shapes with your class. They identify the different parts and faces of each polygon and solid then calculate the surface area and volume of cones. They use circle sectors of varying sizes to build...

In this shapes worksheet, students analyze the shapes in 3 problems and name them. Students then draw the same shape again in the blank, making it taller than the one already there.

In this volume worksheet, students create different sized cubes and compare the sizes by pouring sand from one cube into another. Students follow 4 directions and reflect on their findings.

Students construct models of microorganisms recognizing size relationships-comparing the size of viruses with the sizes of bacterial and eukaryotic cells. They put into perspective just how small microbes are by comparing the size of...

Students become familiar with the causes for formation of shadows. They create shadows, compare the size and shape of the shadow with the actual object, engage in shadow play theatre, and discover what happens to shadows when there is...

Students identify, compare and classify the various shapes. In this shapes lesson, students listen to descriptions of shapes with words such as sides, angles, congruent, and parallel. Students then give the teacher examples of shapes...
