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...

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...

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.

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 worksheet, 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.

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 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...

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...

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

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.

Students design an experiment to investigate how objects with different masses fall. For this physics lesson, students predict how these objects will fall in a vacuum tube. They write a report explaining experimental results and conclusion.

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

Students 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.

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 lesson by showing their drawings of the crossbuck sign.

Young scholars learn along with Ms. Frizzle's class. In this Magic School Bus lesson plan, students test whether gravity makes heavier things fall faster than lighter ones.

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

Students participate in several density lab activities in order to clarify the misconceptions that solids sink and liquids float. Students work with triple beam balances to find mass of objects to calculate density.

Students work together to discover the relationship between the angle of catapults and the flight of different objects. They discover the heavier the object the more force is needed. They examine how engineers use this information to...

Students order their classmates from smallest to largest foot length.  In this ordering their classmates from smallest to largest foot length lesson plan, students trace each of their classmates foot.  Students read a story...

Students determine how mass is a property of an object that can be measured, and examine how size affects mass. They work with balances and determine what units of measurement are associated with mass. Finally, they determine the...

Students practice the 4 question strategy to form more questions and develop further experiments. The four questions are engage, explore, explain, and elaborate. They use the 4 question strategy on an investigation involving the mass...

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. 

In this math worksheet, students use the theory of quantum mechanics to determine the relative position of objects and how motion could affect them.

Students explore the concept of "transfer of momentum". In this physics lesson plan, students observe the results of two objects or people as they make contact in different ways. Students on roller blades and model cars of different...
