Can you visualize one billionth of a meter? It's not easy to understand the scale of a nanometer. Learners use a hands-on lesson to develop an understanding of the size of a nanometer in comparison to common objects. They walk away with...

Fahrenheit? Celsius? What's the difference, and where did these two temperature scales originate? Your pupils will learn all about these topics by reading the passage included here. After reading, individuals respond to five questions...

Using numbers with varying units (money, length, volume, distance, weight), scholars put each set in order from least to greatest. There are five numbers in each set, and they are all whole numbers with units attached (numbers in each...

Forget hours, divide the day into radians instead. Class members convert the angles in a pie chart of daily activities into radian measures. They add angle measures for multiple activities then determine a relationship between the radian...

What's the moral of this story? Units save lives! Teach measurement conversion through storytelling in a quick math-based lesson. Young scientists learn how one country's decision to swap from imperial to metric standard units caused an...

Conduct indirect measurements three ways. Working in groups, pupils come up with different ways to measure three tall objects indirectly. The teacher provides measurement information requested by the teams, and learners then calculate...

Pupils use an interactive clock to set specific times. They apply math to an everyday task as they determine the measure of the angle formed by the hands in degrees and in radians. 

Ever wondered how many pieces of paper a binder clip can hold? Viewers of a short video are about to find out! Given measurement data for three different sized binder clips, learners must develop a method for figuring out how many pieces...

How can you fit an entire school on one sheet of paper? You use scale! Scholars measure rooms in the school and, using the correct scale, design a floor plan that includes area calculations with their data.

One must obey the sine laws. A lesson introduces and derives the Law of Sines for non-right triangles. With examples that use the Law of Sines to determine unknown measures in triangles, the lesson checks to see if the Law...

Use geometry to improve your pool game! Learners analyze the front half of a pool shot to determine its resulting path. By measuring the angle of incidence, they are able to predict the path of the ball. 

Find the height from afar. Teams role play as summer interns to find the height of a set of windows from the outside. Scholars must first determine how to find the height with the available tools. After determining a strategy involving...

Use this comprehensive pre-instruction assessment tool to focus your teaching where your class needs it most. Multiple choice questions assess your budding geometers' conceptual and vocabulary knowledge, but they do not solve any...

In this science worksheet, students concentrate on attaining new knowledge of the science standard using the creative medium of games and puzzles.

In this mathematics learning exercise, 3rd graders draw lines for each measurement. Then they measure the lines to the nearest centimeter. Students also use a ruler, a measuring tape, and measure small items and longer items.

Students examine how to determine temperature on a thermometer. They read and discuss an informational handout, discuss examples of Fahrenheit and Celsius scales, and complete a worksheet.

Practice converting measurements with a 24-problem learning exercise focusing on the conversion of centimeters and millimeters. 

Take your biology class' understanding of biodiversity to a whole new level! Ecology scholars use data to calculate three different diversity indices based on the organisms in the Gorongosa National Park. The four-part activity uses an...

It's amazing how much kids change from the beginning of the year to the end. Create a written account of their growth with a fun learning exercise that involves children recording information about themselves at two...

The first capacitor was a Leyden jar, invented in 1745. Physics scholars explore capacitors in an engaging simulation. They may view one or set up circuits which contain two to three either in series or parallel. Other views include...

In this measuring mass worksheet, students convert U.S. measurements of whole numbers and fractions in ounces, pounds and tons. Students solve nine problems.

Your learners will be tantalized by this inquiry-based, collaborative activity as they discover how to write an equation that represents the height of an ice cream cone. Given the scenario based on the poem, "Eighteen Flavors," and...

You're safe, when calculating the odds of stealing second base! Learners compare the rate of a runner to the distance the ball travels, in a instructional activity that explores right triangles and measurement. Full of discussion...
