Use this fun activity with youngsters learning how to use rules for measurement. Each is provided with six steps that direct them to draw specific things with specific heights or lengths. For example, they start by drawing a tree that is...

Students estimate the distance of student's broad jumps. This activity can take place in the block center with a small group of students. They are explained that they are going to jump from a starting point (marked with the masking...

Get things moving with this extensive collection of physical science resources. Covering the fundamentals of measurement, graphing, lab safety, and experimental design as well as the specific scientific concepts...

Learners design questions that can be answered by collecting data. In this line-plot lesson, pupils collect data and graph on a line plot on world records. An abundant supply of teacher support is provided in this resource.

Moooove over, there's a better deal over there! The fourth segment in a series of eight requires individuals to determine the best unit cost for milk. Scholars calculate the least amount they can spend on a particular quantity of...

What do math, bungee jumping, and Barbie® have in common? Young adventure seekers use rubber bands as bungee cords to predict a thrilling, but safe, jump for their doll. First, test jumps are conducted with a few rubber bands. Then more...

Explore polygons with your elementary learners. Divide the class in 12 to configure the polygon puzzle before them. They list the attributes of each type of polygon they see, and if there's time, they jump on the interactive website...

The last segment of the nine-part unit makes a connection between springs and linear equations. Groups hang weights from the spring and measure its length. Then, using the data collected, they calculate the slope to find the k-value...

Pupils explore measurement. In this math lesson, students measure how far they can jump using blocks. Pupils compare the results when different sized blocks are used. Students estimate the distance jumped.

Students choose appropriate units of measure and predict length using the metric system. In this measurement lesson plan, students participate in activities in which they predict, measure, and record linear measurements such as arm span...

Students explore the aspects of a frog's anatomy that allow it to be such a good jumper and jump and record the length of each jump to determine which style of jumping allows them to jump the farthest.

Third graders practice measuring skills by jumping and measuring the lengths with yardsticks. After measuring five jumps each, they draw bar graphs representing their jumps.

Students watch a segment of the PBS video which show the lemurs' ability to jump. In pairs, students collect measurement data involving each other's length of a standard step, a standing broad jump, and a long jump. They record their...

Fifth graders investigate units used to measure different geometric situations. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders measure length, mass, volume and temperature using units for measurements. They estimate the measurements before...

Students explore two-step linear equations.  In this middle school Pre-algebra lesson, students create and solve equations that describe how a person got to an end postion on a ruler by jumping.  After physically creating the...

Fourth graders are introduced to how to take measurements in the metric system. After defining new vocabulary, they read a story by Mark Twain about jumping frogs. In groups, they simulate a frog jumping contest in which they made...

Students view a 30-minute video lesson to discover information about the characteristics of frogs and toads. They then transform themselves into frogs and participate in a Jumping Frog Jubilee. They work in groups of three to measure and...

In this basketball court measurements worksheet, students complete16 various types of problems using the illustrated basketball court at the bottom of the sheet. They find the diameter and radius of the smaller jump circle on the court....

Second graders accurately measure the distances they and their classmates jump. They determine the mean, median and mode of specific jumps. They are required to have two measurements for each classmate, one for standing long jump and one...

Students explore grasshoppers. In this grasshoppers lesson, students measure the jumping distance of live grasshoppers. Students then record the jumping distance of people in their group. Students record the distances and...

In this data management and probability applications activity, 8th graders solve 20 various types of probability problems. They find the mean, median, mode and range of various numbers. Then, students use the spinner illustration to...

Fifth graders measure their body height and the height they can jump. They use these measurements in forms of ratios, fractions and decimals to describe their Springy Legs Factors (SLF). Students compare their SLFs to other people's...

Tenth graders estimate the size of an adult cheetah by research and measurement of a picture. They determine the approximate distance and speed of the cheetah from a filmed chase and compare that to their own running speed.

Second graders use pedometers to record and graph various activities. Students discuss various activities that can be done during recess and the types of movements that are associated with each activity. They predict which activities...
