Math comes alive in this interactive lesson, which prompts students to weigh small classroom-available items (erasers, pencils, rulers) as well as more obscure items that would need to be provided (a basket, a small toy car). Students...

Students examine force and conduct activities that model parachutes and helicopters.  In this airplanes instructional activity students identify the forces that make airplanes fly higher and land. 

Students measure and record weights and heights and compare to others in the class as they find out more about their bodies.

Young scholars explore temperature and use Celcius thermometers to measure and graph the temperature in the classroom daily. They estimate what they think the temperature might be and then find the actual temperature in the room.

Students design and conduct experiment to determine if weight added incrementally to an object affects amount of friction encountered when it slides across a flat surface. They graph data from their experiments, and calculate...

Fifth graders look at different ways to measure rice. In this rice measurement lesson, 5th graders see the metric and customary measurements. They discuss how rice is measured by length, area of the field, weight, volume and yield. 

In this measurement worksheet, students locate and identify various vocabulary terms related to mathematics. There are ten words/phrases located in the puzzle.

In this mathematics worksheet, students locate and identify various vocabulary terms related to measurement. There are ten words located in the puzzle.  

In this money learning exercise, students compare how much someone can earn from selling the weight of an organic cow versus a regular cow. Students complete 4 problems.

Students observe liquids in different containers and then explore the concept that liquids have level surfaces. They identify those who are not at the center to reinforce the concept of liquid levels with a representational puzzle and...

Students see the difference between weight and mass when they examine the method of measuring each of them.

Students master the gathering, averaging and graphing of data. They practice conversion to metric measures. They gain fluency in the use of technology tools for math operations.

Students practice gathering, averaging, and graphing data. They practice converting measurements to the metric system. Students graph their results and present them to the class.

Young scholars convert basic measurement in English and Metric Units.

Young scholars, in groups, estimate measurments and then select the tools needed and measure various items at Black Bayou Lake refuge.

Second graders choose the appropriate measuring tool by discussing a tool to measure contents in desks. They then use a scale to weigh contents in desks. Next, they study standard units of measurement by writing down the weight in...

Second graders discuss appropriate units of measure to use when weighing the contents of their desks. They use a scale to weigh different items from their desks. They write down weight in pounds and graph the results using an online...

In this metric weight worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice questions regarding metric units of weigh or mass.  Students must be able to convert metric units of mass or weight.  The worksheet is interactive and answers...

Students create an experiment in which they measure the speed of a wave and record the data in a graph. They work in small groups to write the procedure for the experiment and share it with another group for cross checking of the...

Investigate what is pushing on us. An intriguing lesson has pupils calculate the amount of force on various squares due to air pressure. Using the data, individuals create a graph in the third lesson of the Up, Up and Away unit...

How much work does it take to lift a bucket? An interactive presents a problem of lifting a bucket from the ground to the top of a building. Using their knowledge about work and integrals, pupils calculate the amount of work required to...

Learners listen to story, "The 100-Pound Problem," compare their weight with character in story, and weigh different classroom items using nonstandard units and standard units. They experiment with different items that can make scale...

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.

Students construct the Metric Pyramid from the handout. They use the Metric Pyramid to convert from standard to metric measure and vice versa. They compute their own Body Mass Index.
