Eighth graders continue their geometry unit by focusing on volume. Using data, they create a spreadsheet, estimate and calculate volume. They solve real-life problems and round their answers to the hundredths place. They also practice...

Upper graders define perimeter and area of a rectangle, estimate numbers of cubes and determine the maximum amount that will fit in a given space. In this math lesson, pupils complete related worksheet, build prisms and find volume and...

How nutritious is a tiny lollipop? Pass them out to your class as they view a PowerPoint presentation on the basics of nutrition. The students measure and record their weight and height and then carry out a computer activity using their...

Beginning biologists explore passive transport through two demonstrations and a hands-on inquiry. Spray air freshener from one spot in the classroom and have class members raise their hands as the scent reaches them. Also, place a teabag...

For this science of chemistry worksheet, students answer fifteen questions about units of measurement and abbreviations for prefixes in the metric system. In addition, students are given comparison measurements and determine which...

Eighth graders use a meter stick that is placed on a horizontal surface and an object is moved along it so that the shadow length can be measured at different distances from the light source. They solve real-world problems involving...

Students measure a sculpture of a human and measure other students. They determine the average size of humans and create a life size image of the sculpture. They work with percentages as they create the images.

Students calculate actual building measurements from a village map using concepts of ratios and scale in this ten instructional activity mini-unit. They practice measuring angles, multiplying decimals, estimating height and length, and...

Students memorize four key decimal values for quick and accurate conversion. They convert decimal foot measurements to inches and fractions using math tables, computation or memorization. They memorize decimal foot conversions.

Students discuss projectile motion using a basketball player taking off for a slam dunk, a fly ball launched off a hitter's bat, and a snowboarder flying off a pipe as examples. The lesson is expanded by introducing the mathematical...

There's a reason this worksheet is done in groups! Tricky word problems give geometry scholars a challenge as they use prior knowledge about shapes to find the area and perimeter given a few measurements. Students will enjoy discovering...

How can we find volume if it a shape isn't easy to measure? Investigate methods for determining this as the volume of regular and irregular objects is explored in several stations. Learners discover that when the standard formula for...

In this science activity, 5th graders complete multiple choice questions about flight, astronomers, measurement, temperature, and more. Students complete 25 questions.

Aspiring meteorologists make themselves a tool for reviewing the characteristics of each layer of the atmosphere. The procedure for this little project divides the paper into five sections, but many earth science teachers opt for the...

Students determine the length and width of leaf samples to the nearest millimeter and the circumference of trees. They participate in a discussion about the importance of collecting specimens carefully. They compile accurate...

In this using customary units of length worksheet, 5th graders answer 10 multiple choice questions on paper, not online,  about length in inches, feet, yards and miles, with answers available online.

Fifth graders investigate the relationship between mass and speed. In this physics lesson, 5th graders experiment with motion by being given a ramp, two balls, and blocks or books for elevation. Students determine how different variables...

In this area of parallelograms worksheet, 10th graders solve 8 problems that include finding the area of various parallelograms. First, they find the area of each given figure in number 1-3. Then, students find the area of each shaded...

For this online math worksheet, students determine the volume of cylinders given their dimensions. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific...

In this ordering by length worksheet, students with a partner study and analyze different ways to understand the concept of length better through comparing objects and pictures.

Students study the history of kites and their fundamental properties.  For this kites lesson students divide into teams and build and fly kites. 

Students work with given formulas to solve for specific variables. The calculation of the volume of a cylinder and the change in volume when there is a constant surface area is analyzed in this lesson.

Learners investigate optical illusions. In this optical illusions instructional activity, students explore perception. Learners analyze optical illusions and determine common misconceptions.
