For many young children it seems obvious that longer objects are heavier than shorter objects. This assumption is put to the test as the class investigates the relationship between length and weight in a whole-group activity. Using a...

In this measurements worksheet, students practice the skill of choosing objects that are larger, smaller, taller, heavier and/or lighter than other objects. Students choose the multiple choice answer that best answers 7 questions.

Expand the the comparative language of young mathematicians with a hand-on weight measurement activity. Working independently or in pairs, children compare the weight of large wooden blocks to various other classroom objects, recording...

Give math vocabulary instruction a boost with a set of flash cards covering terms such as centimeter, pound, and thermometer to name a few. Word cards are typed using a bold-style font, and correspond to picture cards that...

Practice the comparison words lighter, heavier, longer, shorter, smaller, and bigger using this visual chart. For each set of three objects, pupils order them according to one of these terms. The six terms are illustrated...

The concept of more or less is one that needs to be mastered prior to learning other concepts such as quantitative analysis, addition, or subtraction. This activity provides several ways to teach learners with low or no vision to...

In this friction instructional activity, students test heavy and light objects to see if the more friction of the heavier object makes it easy or harder for it to slide. Students also answer 5 questions.

Students compare, order, and measure objects. In this measurement instructional activity, students are assessed on their ability to order, compare, and measure objects. This is an assessment only instructional activity and does not...

In this force activity, students answer short answer questions about pushing and pulling different objects. Students complete 15 questions.

If a car gets heavier, it goes farther? By running an activity several times, teams experience Newton's Second Law of Motion. The teams vary the amount of weight they catapult off a wooden block car and record the distance the...

Three simple activities kick off a unit investigation of density. Your physical scientists make observations on the volume and mass of wood, water, and rocks, and make comparisons. Though this is written for grades three through eight,...

Which is heavier, a ladybug or a ship? Learners will have fun with this weight comparison worksheet, that uses visuals to help them determine which is heavier or lighter. They complete two comparisons for each. Lastly, they examine four...

First graders measure weight and capacity. In this measurement lesson, 1st graders explore visual examples of weight and capacity comparisons. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Students conduct experiments in gravity by rolling objects down an incline and determining which ones roll slower than others. As part of the experiment, they design objects which will roll the slowest. Using digital movie cameras or...

Young scholars are asked what activities or things that they do each day. They are then asked do you do that in the morning, afternoon, or night? Students are then asked which of those things do you do first, second, third, and etc.

In this reactions worksheet, young scholars complete the given reactions by writing the products. Students do examples of composition, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, and combustion reactions. This worksheet has 54...

Slide books with a little assistance from Newton. Using books, groups create a demonstration of Newton's Second Law of motion. Pupils compare the distance traveled by one and two books when they apply a force to them.

Here are some cross-curricular activities whil should help your kids understnad weight measurements and grammar. In this grammar and math lesson plan, learners read the book Skittles Riddles and practice counting and balancing skittles....

Sixth graders weigh regular and diet soda to see which one is heavier and therefore which one contains more sugar. In this soda lesson plan, 6th graders discover that regular soda contains more sugar because it weighs more. 

Answer the questions where and when with this handy prepositions worksheet. Twelve questions contain prepositional phrases for your class to find and label; the first one is completed as an example. The resource includes an answer key on...

In this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders identify which items pictured weighs more or less than a pound. Then they circle the objects that weigh more and place an X on the object that weigh less than a pound.

Students experiment with objects of different densities. In this density lesson, students examine same-sized objects with different weights, then look at a teacher explanation of density. Students make wave bottles and a density jar to...

First graders experiment with different sized balls and an incline plane to study how a heavy object push a lighter object. They examine the safety message of this instructional activity by showing their drawings of the crossbuck sign.

In this gases worksheet, students use the concepts of Graham's Law of diffusion to determine the velocity of gases and molecules. They describe kinetic energy and how it relates to the mass and velocity of objects.
