Students pick different objects and measure the shadow they cast. In this geometry instructional activity, students experiment with shadows using a flashlight and an object to cast a shadow. They measure and differentiate between the...

Middle schoolers examine various triangles and discuss how similar triangles have sides that are proportional. They utilize an ancient Egyptian method to determine the height of a flagpole.

Students map the magnetic field of a room (classroom or room at home -- recommend kitchen) at two or more heights. They create a coordinate grid within the room and make a relatively accurate map of the room to super impose the...

In this volume:  how full can you go instructional activity, students interactively answer 10 multiple choice questions about volume in both metric and standard measure, then click to check their answers.

High schoolers examine how to apply the principles of trigonometry in authentic measurement situations. They work in groups to determine the height of an object such as a flag pole by determine the angle from their position to the top.

In this math worksheet, students solve six problems about 3D objects. Students also solve six problems about measuring 3D objects.

Students estimate and calculate the distance of a shape. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between a horizontal distance and it's reflected image. They measure the reflection and the point starting at the eye of the observer.

In this geometry worksheet, students solve word problems. They find the height and distance of triangular measurements. They identify missing angles using triangular properties. There are 10 questions.

In this unit, 1st graders use measurement language and counting to compare objects in a variety of game situations. Students also practice the advanced concept of counting to advanced counting.

Fourth graders investigate the weight/mass of a number of items using grams, and equivalents. They examine the use of a triple beam balance before massing objects including oil and water. They go over the weights they amassed and weigh...

Sixth graders use different measuring tools to measure area, perimeter, and circumference of different shapes. In this measurement lesson plan, 6th graders measure parallelograms, triangles, and circles.

Young scholars investigate their reaction times for grabbing a dropped ruler after discussing reactions times to other events such as moving your foot from the gas pedal to the brake. They drop the ruler from a sent height and record the...

Tenth graders analyze graphs and by comparing trees. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders investigate the use of different graphs using bar and regular graphs. They work groups at the computer.

Students discover the actual size and weight of many insects and animals. In this biology lesson, students investigate animals and insects to determine their actual weight and size. In groups, students create an animal or insect of their...

In this size comparison learning exercise, students will examine three groups of pictures and determine which picture in each group is the smallest.

In this area of triangles worksheet, students solve 18 area of triangles problems.  Students find the area of various types of triangles given a graph of the triangle.

Students investigate potential energy. In this potential energy activity, students do an experiment with a bouncing ball. Students mark how high the ball bounces when it is dropped and record their results. Students discuss...
