In this SI prefixes and mass activity, students are given measurements of mass and they covert to the given measurement by moving the decimal the proper number of places to the left or right.

Scholars learn about the metric system and produce a presentation on how to convert within the metric system. They then develop a brochure in support of legislation requiring the use of the metric system.

The class gets to practice being a mathematician in ancient Greece, performing geometric application problems in the way of Eratosthenes. After following the steps of the great mathematicians, they then compare the (surprisingly...

Just how big would it really be? Young mathematicians determine if different toys are proportional and if their scale is accurate. They solve problems relating scale along with volume and surface area using manipulatives. The...

Don't let your eyes play tricks on you ... use scale to keep your eyes in check! Young scholars observe images without scale and try to identify the structure. Then, they look at the same image with a scale bar and assess whether their...

Energy is just energy, right? Explain various forms of energy to your young scientists by using an interactive experiment that contains common objects to demonstrate complex concepts. Pupils conduct experiments for radiant, thermal,...

Second graders publish a class cookbook of their own recipes. They explore the nutritional value of foods, calculate the measurements, and prepare a healthy recipe for the class.

Students construct ratios using the hand as data. They use examples of cortical and trabecular bone found in the long bones to measure circumference, diameter, length, and weight of long bones. They perform computations using growth...

Students solve problems using dimensional analysis. In this chemistry lesson, students choose a problem and present it in class. The rest of the class will evaluate the solved problem on the board.
