Learners measure water and make predictions about efficiency.

Students investigate coal samples and analyze its drying loss under controlled conditions. They establish the loss in mass of a sample when heated under controlled conditions of temperature.

Students discuss how all objects fall at the same rate and vertical motion is independent of the horizontal motion. Students apply this information to center of mass activities before solving equations.

Young scholars engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of mental math. They perform calculations as following: recognizing a half, three quarters, and tenths. Students are also challenged to extend skills to making...

Third graders are introduced to the problem with a short discussion about parking. They then solve with a partner. As they work ask questions that focus on the strategies they are using to make the calculations.

Fourth graders, acting as foresters, determine timber volumes as sawtimber or pulpwood for marketing. They find the marketable value of a tree using its diameter and volume.

Students use seconds, minutes, and hours. They then discuss the size of a thousand. After that they read time in digital or analogue form.

Students use maps and mathematics to determine the appropriate panther population in a given area. In this Florida ecology instructional activity, students research the area requirements of male and female panther and use a map to help...

Students are introduced to the characteristics of air and where it can be found. As a class, they discover that no two objects can occupy the same space and discover how to calculate mass. In groups, they participate in an experiment...

Students solve problems. In this math lesson, students write solutions using LOGO commands in order to help get the turtle to the pond.

In this body fat measurement learning exercise, students will conduct an experiment to determine how the "under-water weighing" technique of measuring body fat works. Once the experiment is complete, students will complete 1 short answer...

In this calculus-based worksheet, learners experiment how to add forces in order to get a net force of zero with no acceleration while following the directions of a variety of different scenarios.

Students participate in an estimation activity to determine the length of a hallway or to estimate how many people can fit in the school stadium or gym.

High schoolers estimate the energy output of the sun. They estimate how much power sunlight the sunlight provides to the earth. They build a simple device to measure the amount of solar radiation the earth receives from the sun.

A comprehensive guide for learning all about mass with definitions, how to calculate mass, the difference between mass and weight, solved examples, and practice questions.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore the concept of weight and how it differs from mass, and then they have the opportunity to calculate the weight of an object from its mass.

This interactive resource from the Exploratorium calculates your weight on other bodies in our solar system and offers an explanation of mass and weight and the relationship between gravity, mass, and distance.

In this student-paced module, students apply Newton's Laws of Motion to everyday life, calculate mathematical relationships involving force and motion using algebraic formulas, and understand the difference between mass and weight.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of weight and how to calculate the weight of an object.

Defines inertial and gravitational mass, their scientific history, formulas used in their calculation, the definition of weight, units used for mass, and mass as perceived in the theory of special relativity.

Use this interactive body mass index calculator to determine if your weight is under, over or normal for your size and read about things you can do to maintain a healthy weight.

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

This lesson focuses on gravitational fields and includes what one is, the formula for gravity force, defining weight, formula for mass, an example of how to calculate gravity force, a practice question, and a link to a test.

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.
