Pupils utilize their knowledge of measurement in making accurate measurements and estimations.

First graders use nonstandard measurement to measure. After reading Inch by Inch, 1st graders pair measure leaves that they have collected. They glue their leaves onto tag board to make a display.

In this metric units instructional activity, students learn to convert measurements using metric unit measurements. Students solve and convert six problems.

Fourth graders practice measuring different objects in inches. Individually, they estimate the length of the same object in centimeters and then calculate the actual length. They compare and contrast their estimate to the actual length...

Eighth graders participate in an experiment that emulates a sonar signal bouncing off the ocean floor. They determine how the ocean floor is measured by the length of time it takes for the sonar signal to return. They work with a wooden...

In this geometry worksheet, students solve right angle triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem. They calculate the area and sides of triangles and circles. There are 52 questions total.

Students find the surface area and volume of the solid figures by measuring the length and the height of each face and base. They use concrete models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, and volume...

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...

Students explore measurement. They use appropriate units of measurement for different sized objects. Students collect their data and enter it into an Excel data base. They graph their findings and analyze their outcomes.

Students explore the Pythagoras theorem. In this geometry activity, students make right triangles and identify the parts of the triangle. Students complete measurements of the sides of the triangle.

Young scholars complete activities to study the frost and frost depth. In this frost study lesson, students use frost tubes to study and measure the frost at their school. Young scholars measure the frost in the tube and enter their data...

First-time physicists experiment with pendulums in this physics lesson. They vary the weight of the bob, record how long each takes to complete ten period swings, and then calculate the time for one period. They repeat the procedure,...

Fourth graders measure the perimeters of several different rooms. They convert the measurements using ratios that allow them to draw the rooms to scale on paper. They draw the dimensions of a house to scale. They measure length to the...

Students create a ruler for the purpose of measurement using the standard and metric systems. The rulers are of different lengths and are compared to one another. Then students make conversions of different lengths using both systems of...

In this metric conversion worksheet, students convert twelve metric measurements using conversion factors to show their work.

For this metric worksheet, learners read about the metric system and British system of measurement. They answer 58 questions about the metric system and convert from one unit of measurement to another.

In this asteroid image instructional activity, students observe a photograph taken by the NEAR imager and they determine the scale of the image following the given steps. They solve 4 problems using the scaled image and determine the...

In this area and perimeter worksheet, students are given the equations to find the perimeter and area of objects. They practice finding the perimeter by measuring the sides of given objects and adding them together. They find the area 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 create an airplane by listening to directions. They also to measure the pieces for the airplane and compare and contrast their test flights.
