In this identifying units of measure worksheet, students estimate the volume of their bodies using the bath method and component method, estimate the density of their bodies and use a conversion sheet to convert metric measurements....

Students compare and contrast the English and Metric system. In this chemistry lesson, students demonstrate how to convert English to metric and vise versa. They solve problems following the rules of significant figures.

Young scholars investigate the Metric System. They discuss the history of the Metric System, convert various units of measurement into the Metric System, and solve problems on a spreadsheet.

In this metric system instructional activity, students complete a kilogram and gram table using the conversion table for help. Students then convert the given measurements and finish with several measurement conversion word problems.

In this math activity, students read recipes for making chocolate buns and pizza snacks. Students convert the basic recipe amounts to serve different numbers of people. Note: This if from the UK and all recipe measurements are in metric.

In this math worksheet, students read the weight conversion chart in order to solve problems as they are given for measurement.

Create models of the infrared, visible, and ultraviolet portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Working in small groups, your class can investigate metric conversions calculations. They will find the length of the waves in nanometers,...

In a math or life science class, "mini-me" models are created with cardstock to reflect a 1:10 scale of students' bodies. Learners measure each others' heights with meter sticks, and then reduce the size by 10. After this exercise, they...

Students review the units of the metric system, convert from the US system of units of measure to the metric system, and estimate measures before converting between the two systems of measurement.

In this measurement instructional activity, students fill in a chart with the proper SI units, measurements and symbols. They also practice converting from one metric unit to another. They express numbers in scientific notation.

In this length worksheet, students convert measurements of length from one metric unit to another. They measure line segments, indicate their measurements and read a metric ruler.

Students investigate measurement.  In this fifth/sixth grade mathematics lesson, students explore the relationship between inches and centimeters.  Students measure their height in inches or centimeters and convert the...

In this math instructional activity, students practice the skill of converting measurements. The answers are found through using the right conversion formula.

Students create a table of ordered pairs, using variables (dependent and independent), writing equations, converting metric and standard measurements for distance using mileposts.

In this calculations review activity, students convert from one metric unit to another, they identify significant figures in numbers, they find density of substances, and they solve problems using dimensional analysis.

Students write and solve equations converting between metric and standard measurement as they travel southeast on the Al-Can Highway.

It's always nice to hear from friends. Your budding mathematicians read letters from pen pals and convert customary measurements into metric units and vice versa. They also write letters to an imaginary pen pal using metric units.

Conversion immersion — it's measuring mania! A set of four activities teaches scholars to convert between customary and metric units. Resource covers unit conversions in length, temperature, weight/mass, and volume.

Is your class in another dimension with regards to dimensional analysis? Give them some extra practice with a straightforward activity. Learners convert units by following concise step-wise examples, including setting up the...

Students take measurements throughout the day using a simple sundial called a gnomon. They record the results on a Data Log and convert from English units to metric (S.I.) units. Data points are plotted on the same graph and analyzed.

One hundred metric tons of CO2 can accumulate in one acre of forest over time—that's a lot of carbon! In the activity, groups of middle school learners determine what makes forests important. They then solidify the concept by using a...

Students convert basic measurement in English and Metric Units.

Eighth graders calculate the weight of a limestone block in metric and U.S. customary measurements. Make inferences by applying measurable ratios to known data.

Students explore how to convert one metric to to another. For this metric unit lesson students are given a worksheet and asked to answer the questions and give and explanation to the class of how they got their answer.
