Students examine the properties in oil in water. In this mixture lesson, students read about the Lophelia II 2010: Cold Seeps and Deep Reef Expedition and look at images of deep sea ecosystems. They experiment or participate in...

Young scholars examine why diffusion and osmosis happen in an egg cell.  In this diffusion lesson plan students demonstrate a semi permeable membrane.

A brief overview of the definition of volume, and a description on how to measure the volumes of liquids.

In this lab, students will measure and combine colored liquids to receive the expected results. The intended outcome would be to take primary colored liquids, measure them and combine them to create a "rainbow" colored set of water in...

The Center for Mathematics and Science Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provides an interesting and easy-to-use dictionary of the history and meaning of many measurement terms. Metric, International, and...

In this Cyberchase Media Gallery, explore key concepts about liquid volume, including standard units of liquid measure and how to convert between them. In the accompanying classroom activity, students create a complete conversion chart...

In this video from Cyberchase, Bianca is babysitting infant twins. As she tries to give each twin the same amount of liquid baby formula, she discovers that all the baby bottles are different shapes. Learn how she finds two that hold the...

Tells the story of how Archimedes discovered the Archimedes Principle and his water displacement method for determining the volume and density of an object. Provides an explanation and several examples of how it is done.

In this exercise, students practice arithmetic word problems with volume. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure and estimate liquid...

Here are three activities--concentration, matching, and flashcards--to help learn or review the units of customary measurement.

This interactive game has students apply skills in estimation, measurement, and basic addition using pearls. Students are asked to estimate the number of pearls in a treasure chest by making predictions and using number sense. The skills...

Students learn how volume, viscosity and slope are factors that affect the surface area that lava covers. Using clear transparency grids and liquid soap, students conduct experiments, make measurements and collect data. They also...

Convert metric measurements to U.S. Measurements and the reverse, too. Easy to follow tables have sections for area, length, mass,temperature and volume.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This learning module offers four videos and a set of practice questions on how to find the capacity of liquid by filling containers with liquids (English Units).

In this exercise, students practice arithmetic word problems with mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints, watch a tutorial video, and try questions repeatedly. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure...

In this exercise, students practice estimating mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get step-by-step hints and try questions repeatedly. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure and estimate liquid volumes and...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students watch a video overview on how to find the amount of overflow in a capacity problem.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students watch a video overview on finding sequential capacities of several containers.

Students act as chemical engineers and use LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robotics to record temperatures and learn about the three states of matter. Properties of matter can be measured in various ways, including volume, mass, density and...

In this week's Afterschool Adventure, Appetite for Fractions, children will explore fractions as they help create, divvy up, and serve a variety of real and virtual snacks.

This hands-on, inquiry based lesson is an extension of the AMSTI Science Module, Solids and Liquids. Young scholars use nonstandard units to measure beans in a soup mix. Students predict how many beans will be in a scoop. Young scholars...

Tutorial shows proper procedure for handling a buret and using this piece of laboratory equipment to measure liquid volume. View accompanying video full-length [18:00] or in segments.

Read the die to find out what exercise to do and how many repetitions are needed, keep a running tally of rolls to see who gets the highest score.
