In this student exploration-weight and mass worksheet, student use the Weight and Mass Gizmo to answer questions and fill in charts with estimating and measuring.

Students explore weight. For this math lesson, students predict which item weighs more and discuss how they arrived at their decision. Students weigh several items to determine which weighs more.

In this chemical reactions worksheet, students review the law of conservation of mass, the principle of definite proportions, and balancing equations. This worksheet has 3 problems to solve.

First graders measure weight and capacity. In this measurement lesson plan, 1st graders explore visual examples of weight and capacity comparisons. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Sixth graders practice weight conversions in grams. In this conversion instructional activity, 6th graders convert weights from kilograms all the way to milligrams. They complete word problems with grams of rice. 

Students identify the geometric mean of their data. In this statistics instructional activity, students collect data and graph their findings. They identify the mean, range and mode.

High schoolers circulate through stations to determine the proper instrument to make a certain type of measurement. They must make measurements of mass, volume, length, area, electrical current, temperature and force.

Learners compare the weight of the students's favorite soft toys directly and then indirectly using beads.

In this chemistry worksheet, students look for the weight of acid and examine its mass using chemical equations and a laboratory procedure.

First-time physicists experiment with pendulums in this physics lesson. They vary the weight of the bob, record how long each takes to complete ten period swings, and then calculate the time for one period. They repeat the procedure,...

Every type of question is used to query young chemists about atomic structure. A vocabulary list tops the page before fill in the blanks, true/false, and matching questions are listed. This is a neatly formatted and pertinent worksheet...

A summary of the science between gravity.  Your students will find the resources links useful and the definition summaries relevant. This slideshow could be used to accompany a lecture or even for independent study.

What are polygons? Learners find the perimeter of various geometric figures that the teacher has drawn in chalk on the sidewalk. A worksheet to record their measurements is provided. Get your third graders outside and exploring the world...

Fifth graders investigate data from maps to solve problems. In this data instructional activity, 5th graders study maps and collect data from each map. Students present their data in a variety of ways and calculate the mode, mean,...
