Students learn about the concept of pushing, as well as the relationship between force and mass. Students practice measurement skills using pan scales and rulers to make predictions about mass and distance. A LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robot is...

Learn about body mass index and how this number affects your overall health. Then plug in your own data to find your BMI.

The learning activity explores weight. Students weight different items and compare their mass from smallest to largest.

[Free Registration/Login Required] An informational text debating whether or not schools should send reports home about students' body mass index (BMI). A question sheet is available to help students build skills in reading comprehension.

Students learn about standard units of mass. Topics include ounce, pound, and ton. Practice problems are included to check for comprehension of the concept.

Review the key concepts, equations, and skills for Newton's first law of motion, including the difference between mass and weight.

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...

This slide and audio book shows how to relate mass to a number of particles by using many formulas, examples, and real life scenarios. View the weighted average calculations, Avogadro's number, the atomic mass of carbon, and molar mass.

Explore the societal stigma that accompanies people who are overweight, and research current medical thinking on "ideal weight." Identify how the perception of body image can lead to eating disorders.

If you like tackling formulas, then this math challenge is for you. See if you can calculate Helix's BMI (body mass index) and find out if his health is at risk. A one page NCTM Math Challenges for Families activity that engages learners...

Catch the waves with Pete and find the mass of the items on the beach.

Forces are everywhere. Learn what they are, the characteristics of forces, different kinds of forces, and factors that affect them.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Choose the appropriate customary units of weight or capacity given various measurement situations.

Take a quick trip to the other planets, and hop on the scale to find out how weight there compares to weight on Earth.
