Studets practice problem solving and comparison of quantities, ratios and prproportions. They develop a plan for determining the height of a flagpole complete with drawings and calculations. In addition, they complete a written...

For this measurement worksheet, students identify the units of measurement, the instrument used to measure and the method used to measure weight, mass, density, volume and length. They also answer questions about measurements and find...

In this measuring chemicals worksheet, high schoolers investigate measurements of an aluminum slab including the length, width, height, mass, volume and density. They do the same for a piece of aluminum foil and they compare their...

Seventh graders practice finding the area and perimeter of polygons. In this polygon area lesson, 7th graders brainstorm shapes and take a walk to locate shapes. Students record properties of shapes and use various shapes to make a...

This seventh grade life science quiz has a professional appearance and well-written multiple-choice questions. However, it seems to cover too broad a variety of biology topics for only 15 questions to fully assess. There is one question...

Students discuss strategies for estimating information about various shapes. Once they draw and label four shapes with perimeters of 30 units, they calculate the areas of the figures. To complete the lesson plan, students offer written...

Fourth graders use Unifix cubes to estimate standard measurements of length, weight, and capacity. After practicing, 4th graders complete an individual assessment by the teacher where they are asked questions about measurement and...

Blow the minds of young scientists with this collection of inquiry-based investigations. Based on a series of eight videos, these "hands-on, minds-on" science lessons engage young learners in exploring a wide range of topics...

Can people really measure time just by using the sun? Scholars venture outside on a nice, sunny day to build sundials and learn how people measured time 600 years ago. The class builds two different sundials while gaining practice with...

To me, art implies color. Your class can learn all about triaxial blends, glazed colors, and ceramics. Included are the step-by-step instructions needed to teach learners how ceramic glazes developed, color blends, and how to measure and...

A second attack at figuring out the number of leaves on a tree, this activity makes both an excellent follow-up to version 1 and a stand-alone activity. Learners practice setting parameters and deciding acceptable estimate precision, and...

Transform pupils into mathematicians as they create their own definitions and formulas. Scholars examine an assortment of triangles and create a definition and formula for determining the sharpness of the vertex angle. The groups of...

When stressed, do you prefer the fight or flight response? Scholars observe, measure, and identify the body's response to stress using a well-researched methodology. They learn about the autonomic nervous system, hormones, and more.

How much does your class know about psychology? What about empirical evidence? If they could use some time to learn the essentials of psychology, use a quick reference sheet to note what they know before the test, after the unit, and at...

Encourage scholars to problem solve everyday frustrations using the STAR method. Using the acronym, learners remember to stop, think, act, and review. Participants begin with a math analogy in which they problem-solve to find the correct...

Design and build a rover ... then eat it? This activity has groups of two design and build Mars rovers. The teams determine what instruments they want to include with their rover and plan a budget. They calculate the cost of the body of...

In this scientific method activity, students read over the basic steps of the scientific method and then apply those steps to a specific example. This activity has 8 short answer questions.

Students recognize and follow the steps of the scientific method to complete an experiment.  In this scientific method lesson, students use inquiry tools to measure objects.  Students record their data.

Students conduct an experiment using the steps of the scientific method. In this scientific method instructional activity, students experiment with temperature and record their findings using the scientific method. Students complete a...

Fourth graders are introduced to the various types of measurements. Using a recipe, they practice measuring out the correct amount of ingredients while making the food. They also practice using a scale and following the directions on a...

In this temperature worksheet, students answer 8 questions about temperature and thermal energy. For example, "What term refers to an energy transfer that causes a change in temperature?"

Students test the stickiness of natural substances. In this adhesion as a property of matter lesson, students build a tool to test the adhesion of natural "glues" such as honey, peanut butter, flour and water paste, and jelly. Students...
