Students discover the metric system through video clips and Internet activities. In this measurements lesson, students practice using the units of measure for the metric system and compare them to the less popular English system....

Pupils confirm the law of conservation of matter by weighing chewing gum before and after it is chewed.

Second graders determine and compare weights and volumes of popped and unpopped corn to make predictions and solve problems. Students combine the data of each group into a graph. They construct questions, statements and story problems...

Learners measure objects effectively using standard units, They examine how consistency in the units used allows for easier and more accurate communication of mass measures.

Scatter plots are a fun way to gather and collect relevant data. The presentation goes through several examples and then describes the different types of correlation. 

Create an egg-citing study of energy. Pupils investigate the effect of height and mass on the overall amount of energy of a falling object. The fourth segment in a six-part series on energy uses a weighted egg falling from different...

In this space worksheet, students complete each of the statements related to weight on the moon. Then they create three questions that could be answered after completing the lab activity.

Students demonstrate force and motion by rolling a ball through a tube. For this motion lesson students explore what happens to the ball when it is rolled with other balls of various sizes, weights, and textures.

Students determine where to buy the heaviest earthworms as they study invertebrates. They create a double bar graph of the results of the weight data.

Students observe a demonstration of regular soda versus diet soda.  In this exploring density instructional activity students complete a lab on density and present a PowerPoint presentations of their results.

Students participate in lessons on Forces and Newton's Laws by selecting activities and assignments to complete in a Layer Unit. Students select assignments and activities in the C Level, B Level, and A Level.

Young scholars examine the relationships between force, mass and balance through the lens of clay sculpture. They discuss the definitions and concepts behind Newton's Third Law of motion then individually apply these principles to the...

Explore various types of measurement with fourth graders. They will practice using balance pans to measure the weight of a coin and a graduated cylinder to determine the displacement volume for a bolt. The metric system will be the focus...

Fourth graders conduct a lab activity that measures the factors that change the swing rate of a pendulum. They create a hypothesis and test it during the experiment. They record their observations using the recording sheets and journal...

Students explore their weight on other planets. In this science lesson, students view a presentation about the other planets and complete a worksheet in which they make predictions about their weight on the moon and other planets.

High schoolers use Internet web sites to discover how physically fit they truly are. Each group must use three web sites to answer questions and make an assessment of the person they have. Each group report back to the class what they...

Students complete five center activities that in order to determine the attributes of length and area. They study the vocabulary associated with measurement of length and area. They use blocks, play dough, wrapping paper, and footprints...

In this elements, compounds, and mixtures worksheet, students answer questions about the properties of elements, mixtures, and compounds. Students identify the physical changes that is made to a substance to determine if it is an element.

Second graders identify the attributes of various shapes and estimate the weight of the objects. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders identify the attributes of concrete objects and use a pan balance to weight them.
