Students explore the concept of measurement, modelling the increments on a standard ruler using cubes and grid paper. They identify the length of a line to a designated standard unit and measure specified body parts.

Upper graders examine all angles. In this angle lesson plan, pupils practice measuring, drawing, and naming angles. They create posters regarding angle vocabulary.

Students examine the painting "Old Man With A Gold Chain" by Rembrandt. They identify geometric shapes in the painting, measure these shapes and compare the relationships of these measurements.

Eighth graders complete worksheets on reading the distance on maps in miles or kilometers. In this maps lesson plan, 8th graders use a calculator and ruler.

Students properly leap and measure their distance. In this leaping lesson, students practice leaping for accuracy and proper form. Students estimate their leaps and measure with rulers. Students determine distance covered by the entire...

Students investigate how friction affects the movement of a block across surface areas. They test five different kinds of surfaces—smooth surface, wax paper, a paper towel, course, and fine sandpaper. They predict and record the results...

In this chemical equations instructional activity, students write and balance chemical reactions. They complete 98 short answer and problem solving questions on molarity and chemical equations.

Students investigate data collection and analysis.  In this Algebra I lesson plan, students create a scatter plot and find the equation of best fit in a simulation of a leaking water pipe.

Students investigate the energy released by a peanut and a piece of a walnut. In this catabolism and calories lesson plan, students burn a peanut and a piece of a walnut and measure the temperature of the water before burning and after...

In this scientific notation worksheet, students solve eight problems about the sun, the planets and the universe using very large numbers expressed in scientific notation.

Students trace the route of the historical event and measure the distance over which the people involved journeyed. A data sheet be constructed outlining the location of events, and the speed with which the journey occurred.

In this Washington D.C. from space learning exercise, students use a picture generated by the International Space Station and they find the scale of the image. They determine the actual size of features in the image, they find the...

Learners measure, weigh, and document the amount of trash and garbage generated by the school for one day. They brainstorm solutions for trash in the area and assist with the school-wide recycle program.

Learners explore math functions by completing math equation worksheets. In this inequality activity, students define a list of math terms and discuss the difference between an equation and inequality. Learners utilize a real life...

Students examine tree-ring dating and discuss the lack of water the settlers in Jamestown faced. They create paper tree rings, simulate rain patterns, and describe the history of construction paper tree sequences.

Students discover plant chemical processes through three lab activities. Overheads, data sheets, and teaching procedures provided for the unit covering photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration.

Students study rocks they find on the playground.  In this investigative lesson students collect and analyze rocks they find and answer questions about them. 

Learners explore the concept of measurement.  In this measurement lesson, students collect data about themselves such as height, finger length, neck circumference, foot length, and other body measurements.  Learners cut squares...

Students observe the process of transpiration in leaves. They measure how much water a leaf gives off in a 24-hour period, calculate the volume, and answer discussion questions.

Young scholars determine a spring constant and extrapolate information from a graph.  For this spring lesson students divide into groups and complete a lab activity. 

In this exercise, students practice converting units (metrics). Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

Solve word problems that involve converting between metric measures of distance, volume, and mass, as well as measures of time. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or...

Convert between metric measures of distance, volume, and mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Practice converting a metric measure of length to a smaller unit. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
