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 read the novel Stone Fox by John Reynold Gardiner. Using Lego RCX units, students build and program sleds to re-enact the "home stretch" of the National Dog Sled Race.

The students are able to use a formula to calculate the volume of cuboids by measuring the length of each of the three dimensions. They also investigate the relationship between milliliters and cubic centimeters.

Fourth graders graph their estimations of caloric intake and caloric expenditures.

Note that although the publisher lists almost all of the Common Core standards for both math and language arts, you will most likely want to take the general topic and choose which area to focus on. Regarding math, pupils measure worms...

Middle schoolers discover scales for both the solar bodies' relative sizes and their distances from the sun. They find equatorial circumference and volumes of their solar bodies. Students apply estimation strategies and proportioanl...

Third graders practice measuring different objects. They discover the concepts of ratio and proportion and practice converting numbers into the correct unit. They read stories as well to help them with the concepts.

Students are introduced to the pedometer, and use this tool to associate physical activity (physical energy) with calories burned (chemical energy). They comprehend the making and burning of energy.

Learners explore math functions by preparing a meal. In this food measurement lesson, students examine a recipe for a meal and alter the size of the recipe based upon the amount of servings needed. Learners utilize manipulatives to...

Students learn about using decimals and fractions by referring to a 19th century currency table. In this decimals and fractions lesson plan, students discuss converting pounds to coins and how they relate to fractions and decimals.

Students work with measurements of length, area, and volume capacity of a liquid. They watch a teacher demonstration of both English and metric units before they estimate and take actual measurements of assigned items a three different...

In this mathematical learning exercise, students convert fifteen metric units of capacity and multiply and divide whole numbers by 10, 100 and 1000.

Students convert basic measurement in English and Metric Units.

Students review the procedure for determining appropriate types of measurements for given situations and measurement conversions. They figure perimeter, area, and volume of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.

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...

Young scholars find the percent composition of sugar in the gum. In this chemistry lesson, students calculate percent error from the experiment. They use dimensional analysis to convert between units.

In this motion worksheet, students complete motion word problems where they explain and define issues having to do with motion. Students complete 32 problems.

Learners investigate the connection between work, potential energy, kinetic energy, and heat. In this physics lesson, students use pulleys to produce mechanical advantages and incline planes to demonstrate energy conversion.

Students study West Virginia quilts. In this mathematics activity, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.
