This lesson plan introduces students to the effects of magnetic fields in matter addressing permanent magnets, diamagnetism, paramagnetism, ferromagnetism, and magnetization. First students must compare the magnetic field of a solenoid...

Students are introduced to our planet's structure and its dynamic system of natural forces through an examination of the natural hazards of earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, tsunamis, floods and tornados, as well as avalanches, fires,...

Unit reasoning helps us make sense of measurements by converting between measurement units and making reasonable estimates. For the Praxis test, we need to know common measurement units for length, time, volume, and mass, as well as how...

This lesson plan engages students in reading comprehension and measurement activities related to Rod Clements's book, Counting on Frank. Students will write a summary about what the character found to measure. Students will then find...

Geometry is the study of how to use math to describe and investigate different points, lines and shapes. The way that a shape is described in geometry is with a formula, which is simply a mathematical way to calculate different...

Print or create worksheets or flashcards to assess students' understanding of angle measure, area, surface area, and volume.

Disappearing Wetlands: Explore the relationship between mass, density, and salinity by measuring the mass and volume of four saltwater solutions of increasing strength.

What is a prism? Find a good definition and several example images, as well as formulas for finding the volume and surface area of a prism given measurements of its base and height.

Quiz your knowledge of three-dimensional figures, specifically volume and surface area, with this sixteen-question practice exercise.

A seven-question quiz will help you practice answering questions dealing with the volume and area of solids.

Experiment to find out which size of gravel has the most porosity by measuring volume.

Students will define density and use the density formula to determine the density, volume, and mass of various items using the correct units for each measurement.

What is a pyramid? Find a definition, example images, and formulas for finding the volume and surface area of a pyramid if given base and height measurements. Includes a very brief look at a pyramid in Egypt and its measurements.

It's difficult at times for younger students to realize that air has mass. Matter is something that has volume (takes up space) and has mass (*can be weighed). Air does take up space, even if we can't see it, and air has weight, even if...

Practice US customary length, volume, and mass problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly,...

In Spanish. This interactive unit examines how to measure in space. The basic tools are the scalar and vectors.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This learning module offers four videos and a set of practice questions on how to find the capacity of liquid by filling containers with liquids (English Units).

Convert between metric measures of distance, volume, and mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
