In this lesson design and build a structure out of spaghetti and mini marshmallows.

Math glossary and terms on units of measurement for kids. Learn the definitions used in this mathematics subject such as time, temperature, length, and distance.

Students learn about weight by building a spring scale and observing how it responds to objects with different masses.

This resource provides information about obesity, and the importance of weight control.

Includes exhaustive information and a wealth of activities pertaining to aerodynamics and the physics of flight.

Weigh five little creatures on a metric scale, and add to find their total mass to the hundredths place as each one joins the group. A timer calculates your speed of computation.

Dozens of statistical terms are defined and illustrated in this glossary.

Practice comparing mass by trying the Teeter Totter Experiment. Watch the teeter totter move up and down as you compare Marcus to each animal.

In this activity, students will learn about Newton's 2nd Law of Motion. They will learn that the force required to move a book is proportional to the weight of the book. Engineers use this relationship to determine how much force they...

On this site, find a variety of materials to help students understand the conservation of matter. Create lessons that allow students to measure and graph quantities that could show even if matter is heated, cooled or combined with other...

A metal cylinder used for setting the international standard of the kilogram has been slowly gaining mass over the years. This article describes the impact of that mass gain and what scientists are doing to shrink it back to size.

Explore the relationship between thrust, drag, friction, weight, and acceleration in this interactive simulation and see if you can make the sled stop on a particular rock

This subtable lists and describes the six alkali metals of the periodic table of Elements. Related links are provided.

This site from the Illinois Institute of Technology provides a lab activity in which students determine the location of the center of mass of an irregularly shaped object. Observations are related to the balancing point of the object....

This site provides a great overview of stoichiometry, the part of chemistry that studies amounts of substances that are involved in reactions. Content focuses on what you measure, and includes two examples.

Students work as physicists to understand centripetal acceleration concepts. They also learn about a good robot design and the accelerometer sensor. They also learn about the relationship between centripetal acceleration and centripetal...
