Adorable drawings of flowers, vines, and animal statues adorn this worksheet. On it, youngsters compare sizes and label each accordingly. There are four flowers, four vines, and four statues to analyze. Use this to address Common Core...

Students determine the mass of various "dinosaur eggs" and graph their data. In this mass, weight, data and graphing lesson plan, students measure the mass of different weighted "dinosaur eggs". They record their data and transfer it to...

Students experiment with a variety of liquids to calculate density. For this integrated science and math lesson, students listen to a story in which the characters must prove and explain why 5 "mystery" liquids react in a certain manner....

In this unit conversions learning exercise, students calculate and convert measurements from one unit to another. They complete 109 short answer and problem solving questions involving unit conversions.

Open this lesson by demonstrating the production of acidic carbon dioxide gas by activated yeast. Emerging ecologists then experiment with seashells to discover the effect of ocean acidification on shelled marine organisms. They measure...

How many seconds are in a minute? Or rather, how many seconds are in eight minutes? This problem is worked out through a series of animated steps and explained by a friendly young lady's voice. Your time travelers will appreciate this...

Beer's Law can be used to measure the concentration of certain compounds in samples of food. In the concentration simulation, particpants change and measure the concentration of different solutions by manipulating various types of...

Analyze data using technology. Middle schoolers design data investigations, describe data, and draw their own conclusions. Then they select the best type of graph, graph and interpret the data, and look for patterns in trends. They also...

Measurement and map skills are the focus of this lesson, where students crawl through a "cave" made out of boxes, desks and chairs, observing the dimensions.  Your young geographers measure various aspects of the cave and practice...

Students measure temperature and become aware the the temperature above and below the snow is different.  In this winter temperature lesson, students measure temperatures to find variation based on how the snow is packed. Students...
