Students investigate the research report that measures the levels of water usage for Utah. They focus on conservation efforts that are currently being used. They reflect upon their own amount of water usage and research methods of...

Students work on their estimation skills while enhancing their balancing skills. They walk on a rope on the classroom floor while measuring their balance skills.

Students participate in an experiment to measure the weight of air by measuring the weight of the mass it displaces. They lift up a desk and a textbook using a toilet plunger, and calculate the weight of the air, or air pressure.

Students design and construct a suspension bridge. Math is used to compare the actual measurements of the bridge to the student's version.

Young scholars create a spreadsheet to record information about circular objects. They measure and record information from a variety of objects. Students calculate the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of each object. They find...

Fourth graders investigate the concepts of area and perimeter, and they practice finding the values in various types of situations. They construct different representations of shapes using the area measurements and also explain the...

Students investigate the concept of climate gases and practice using the appropriate measurement terms. The lesson includes information that is used by the teacher to conduct class discussion or as a source of background for students.

Fifth graders engage in a tasty lesson which assist them with proportional measurements. They use a given recipe written for 12 servings, and use a chart to determine the ingredient amounts for 30 servings (or number of students in class).

Students examine a cookie that represents pumice and lava in order to realize that lava is a composite of many rock particles. They compare and contrast pumice to the cookie by estimating, weighing, measuring and dissecting the cookie...

Ninth graders investigate the finding of the diameter of a circle in order to extend the practice towards finding the circumference. They differentiate between the distance measured across a circle from that of around the perimeter.

Students construct a sling psychrometer and they measure the relative amount of humidity in the air. They create their own experiment on how to construct a sling psychrometer and how they are going to measure the relative humidity in the...

Learners study the historical figures and symbols of U.S. patriotism depicted on the penny, nickel, dime, and quarter coins. They create a balance scale from common materials to measure the approximate weight of a quarter.

High schoolers collaborate in an experiment where they decompose water into simpler substances through the process of electrolysis. They collect, measure, and observe data and then place the data into a table. Accomodations for...

Students describe weather conditions and climates. They describe patterns of changing weather and how they are measured. Students explain and predict general weather patterns and storms. They use this experiment as a safe and easy way to...

In this elementary math worksheet, 3rd graders solve the four problems that focus upon measurement, fractions, and a word problem.

Students investigate the properties of water. In this states of water lesson, students explore how water goes from liquid to solid and back to liquid again. Students use measurement, observation, and communication to describe the change.

Students explore the concept of titration. In this titration lesson, students observe acid and alkaline reacting. Students discuss pH factor, measuring acidity, neutrality, and alkalinity of liquids. Students put the pH of liquids on a...

In this measurement worksheet, 1st graders study the different rectangles and then find the perimeter of each rectangle to the nearest inch.

In this conversions and rates worksheet, students solve 10 different word problems that include using metric conversions and rates to solve each problem. First, they determine the number of milliliters needed for the correct dosage of...

Young scholars calculate the weight of a motor vehicle using only a sheet of graph paper and a tire gauge. Extensions provided offer additional challenges.

Students are asked have they ever seen a pig? They are asked what are young pigs called? Students are given the Pigs Display Sheet. They see that on the sheet there are two piglets and their mother. Students are told that mother pigs are...

Students demonstrate problem solving skills. Students complete word problems requiring unit conversions. They convert both metric and standard units. Students must determine necessary information to solve problems.

Students discuss scale diagrams and maps as well as the use of spreadsheets to find the best scale to use in a model before practicing scale and ratio problems on their own.

In this metric activity, students examine conversion factors for length, mass, volume and area. Definitions of prefixes and metric abbreviations are identified.
