Learners investigate measuring angles correctly through projectiles. In this geometry lesson, students launch a projectile to investigate the importance of how to measure an angle correctly and to explore trajectory. They collect...

In this measuring lengths worksheet, students determine which units to use when measuring lengths, estimating lengths, and the errors made when measuring, Students estimate the lengths of each of the lines illustrate to the nearest unit....

Students estimate the thickness of coins. In this stack up lesson, students stack pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. They calculate and record the thickness of each coin. Students stack coins and estimate the height of the stack.

Students investigate the growth rate of a man named Bob Wadlow.  In this growth rate of a man lesson, students determine if the growth rate of this particular man was normal or abnormal.  Students bring in data of their height...

In this volume and surface area worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 12 different types of problems. First, they find the volume and total surface area of a given circle. Then, students find the height and radius of a cylinder...

Students experiment with varied balls to determine the bounce factor in centimeters. In this physics lesson, students experiment to find the height a ball must be dropped from the have the highest bounce rate. Students graph the results...

In this statistics worksheet, learners solve and complete 13 different problems that include creating various box-and-whisker plots. First, they write a definition for mean, median, mode and range. Then students explain how to determine...

Learners construct three-dimensional models of the three pyramids at Giza. They research the building of the pyramids and record the height, base and angle measurements of each pyramid. They create a file of facts regarding the pyramids.

Fifth graders investigate the formation and size of impact craters. In small groups, they conduct an experiment that involves dropping marbles into flour and measuring the impact from various heights and discussing their hypothesis and...

In this science worksheet, students identify and explain what each unit represents and how much each one equals. Then they use a metric ruler to locate each measurement and write it on the line. Students also locate the distance between...

Young scholars drop water from different heights to demonstrate the conversion of water's potential energy to kinetic energy. They see how varying the height from which water is dropped affects the splash size. In seeing how falling...

Students examine proportionality in Wind in the Willows by comparing Mr. Toad, objects proportional to him and objects proportional to humans. They then measure a stuffed Mr. Toad and make common objects proportional to Mr. Toad???s...

Seventh graders investigate how changes in the mass or height of a ramp can affect the change in potential energy. They discuss the concepts of work and energy, then using the four question strategy, they design an experiment that...

In this volume and surface area activity, 10th graders solve and complete 10 different word problems that include measuring various solids and cylinders. First, they determine the surface area of a cube and the edge of it. Then, students...

In this slope worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 6 different problems that include completing charts and applying applications to the real world. First, they use the pictures shown to measure the riser and tread of 3 consecutive...

Students chart how milkweed bugs grow and change.  In this growth and life stages lesson, students read two stories and discuss how and why things grow.  Students brainstorm what can be measured about humans, review and discuss...

Fifth graders make boxes. In this prisms instructional activity, 5th graders read the book Counting on Frank and discuss the different things that the boy measures. Students make boxes of various sizes using graph paper and find their...

In this spherical tanks and fuel level worksheet, students are given a diagram showing the effects of gravity or acceleration on the level of fuel in a spherical tank. Students solve 3 problems including finding the general formula for...

Students review the units of the metric system, convert from the US system of units of measure to the metric system, and estimate measures before converting between the two systems of measurement.

Middle schoolers perform mathematical operations to create proportional measurements, after listening to the David Schwartz book, If You Hopped Like a Frog.

Eighth graders investigate the effect of temperature on the volume of a gas in a closed container. They measure the height of the water in their beaker/container, conduct their experiment, and create a graph to illustrate their data.

In this stairs and slope activity, 11th graders solve and complete 12 various problems that include identifying stairs that meet the given guidelines using slope. First, they use a ruler to measure the risers and treads from one set of...

Students observe snails and their characteristics.  In this science lesson, students decide how to measure their snails and to observe a behavioral trait.  Students create a graph to present their findings. 

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.
