Assist your class with correctly calculating the values for force, work, and power as they determine the amount various activities require. They gather data and participate in a group discussion to compare results upon conclusion of the...

Part two in a series of four explores the effects of climate on succession or the changing of plant species in a forest. Groups review how to identify trees and then spend a day in the field collecting extensive data on trees to...

Sixth graders will determine the circumference, diameter, and radius of a circle. In this circle lesson plan, 6th graders will measure the appropriate amount to find these measurements on circles.

Fourth graders measure volume, circumference, and height of fast food cups, find which one has the greatest volume, and compare/contrast those measurements to discover any correlations between them.

Third graders have a blast trying to measure live, wiggly, stretching worms to the nearest inch. Groups record their data onto a class graph and then compare characteristics. They share their findings with the rest of the class. Fun lesson!

Students plan and build a ramp designed for maximum distance a car can travel. In this physics and data collection math lesson, students work in groups to design a ramp using various household materials. Students test small cars on their...

In this observation tools worksheet, students will compare how a lens, a ruler, and a balance can help them learn about the properties of objects. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

Eighth graders record the temperature change of the beakers. In this general science lesson, 8th graders create their own data table for recording observations. They discuss experimental results and cite real life applications.

For this unit students work in groups to find out about an endangered animal species. They design a zoo enclosure for the animal and build a scale model. Together the class constructs a zoo! In the process of planning and building the...

High schoolers keep data records of the growth of Monarch larvae. The observations are made with the change of each stage of development. The observations are to stimulate the answering of questions about biological development.

Students convert standard units of measurement to metric units using tape measures, meter sticks, rulers, and online conversion calculators.

Fourth graders draw a rough floor plan of a house to scale without using a ruler to determine measurements. They see how architects use scale to draw blueprints, and solve math problems using scale.

Students use their hands, feet, computer, and rulers to measure the perimeter of objects. In this measurement lesson plan, students measure objects around the room and computer generated shapes.

Students watch a segment of the PBS video which show the lemurs' ability to jump. In pairs, students collect measurement data involving each other's length of a standard step, a standing broad jump, and a long jump. They record their...

Fourth graders, in groups, examine how temperature is a measure of the average translational kinetic energy.

Fourth graders determine the value of ? by measuring the circumference and diameter of circular objects such as soup cans, Oreo cookies, etc..

Third graders use estimation, fractions and decimals to determine the perimeter of objects in the classroom. They are given a worksheet with a list of the items on it. The worksheet has columns beside each of the items for estimation and...

Sixth graders measure and investigate the densities of several objects. They, in teams, determine the mass and volume of each of the 5 objects and record the measurements in the data table.

Students design, build, and test their own ramps. They are introduced to a variety of materials and explore putting them together. Students engage in an inquiry-based learning experience to reinforce math, science, and technology...

Second graders accurately measure the distances they and their classmates jump. They determine the mean, median and mode of specific jumps. They are required to have two measurements for each classmate, one for standing long jump and one...

Fourth graders, using a map, ruler and calculator, determine the distance the pioneers traveled from Nauvoo, Ill. to the Salt Lake Valley.

Students analyze interior design as a profession. In this interior design lesson, students design their own dream bedroom and explore interior design as a profession. Students draw a scaled drawing using graph paper and appropriate...

Students explore architecture. In this science lesson plan, students build a structure from newspaper. Students place weight on the structure to measure how strong the structure is.

Fifth graders explore the relationship between customary and metric units of measurement. Through discussion and hands-on activities, they discover how units of measurement are related. Students create a millions book to aid in their...
