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.

Students construct the Metric Pyramid from the handout. They use the Metric Pyramid to convert from standard to metric measure and vice versa. They compute their own Body Mass Index.

Students investigate the length of various objects. In this measurement lesson, students convert one metric unit to another. They explain the importance of a uniform system of measurement.

Students investigate where a new element would be located on the periodic table. In this isotope lesson, students find the mass of a new element, people mass. This number will be entered onto the periodic table of elements as the mass of...

In this conversions worksheet, students complete 8 problems where they convert amounts of weight and mass including pounds, tons, ounces, milligrams, and more.

Have you ever wondered how many ants make up an elephant? Inquisitive minds will be amazed as they use scientific notation to compute and compare the mass of an elephant to an ant. Have participants make guesses and see how close they...

If you need a way to assess the concepts in your physical science class, use an extended set of worksheets as a midterm or final exam. It includes questions about density, physical and chemical matter, speed and velocity, weight and...

The potential of the energy in the class is moving. The third segment in a six-part unit on energy provides a deeper understanding of kinetic and potential energy. Learners understand the relationship between mass, speed, and energy and...

Investigating the large numbers of science is the task in a simple but deep activity. Given a one-sentence problem set-up and some basic assumptions, the class sets off on an open-ended investigation that really gives some...

Compounding is dividing units. Pupils practice using compound measures such as units for speed and density to solve problems that range from straightforward speed problems to those requiring conversions. The last few items challenge...

For this metric worksheet, learners complete 28 different metric calculations consisting of density, volume, mass, length, temperature, and time.

Middle schoolers investigate the difference between potential and kinetic energy. They examine the formulae associated with both types of energy. They complete how quickly a pendulum with swing by converting potential energy into kinetic...

In this chemistry worksheet, students calculate to find the molar mass of water. Then they identify how many moles of hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms they would have in a beaker. Students also write the chemical formula of cholesterol.

In this measurement instructional activity, students determine how gravity affects your weight and mass on a different planet. Students practice converting measurements to different units. This instructional activity has 12 problems to...

In this data collection instructional activity, students determine the number of significant figures in the given values, describe the difference between accuracy and precision, and calculate density and mass. This instructional activity...

Census-takers view the Internet to find the total population of a city and its total land area. They work with different mathematical scenarios that involve populations and land area in their city. They complete math problems and unit...

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

Sixth graders practice weight conversions in grams. In this conversion lesson, 6th graders convert weights from kilograms all the way to milligrams. They complete word problems with grams of rice. 

Students use conversion factors to solve problems. In this algebra instructional activity, students convert between Metric and English Units. They measure different objects and using both systems in their units.

Eighth graders convert metric measurements.

In this unit conversions worksheet, students practice converting measurements to the metric system. This worksheet has 8 problems to solve.

For this metric worksheet, students read about the metric system and British system of measurement. They answer 58 questions about the metric system and convert from one unit of measurement to another.

Fourth graders explore unit conversions. They create visual models of measurement units, identify tables of equivalent units and make simple conversions with in a measurement system. Students produce charts that identify units of measure...

In this stoichiometry worksheet, students solve thirty problems using the process of stoichiometry to find moles, molecules, and masses of substances in chemical reactions. Students balance chemical equations, find limiting reagents and...
