The pupils are able to use a formula to calculate the volume of cuboids by measuring the length of each of the three dimensions. They also investigate the relationship between milliliters and cubic centimeters.

Pupils study proportions. In this mathematics instructional activity, students measure their body length, head length, and ratio of their body, write their findings on a group chart, and discuss how a person's head size or arm span are...

Sixth graders calculate wingspan and the body length of the birds and understand how they relate to how the bird flies. For this wingspan lesson plan, 6th graders also calculate their own "wing span" with their arms.

Students convert measurements from one unit to another. In this math lesson, students study the environmental consequences of oil spills. They replicate an oil spill event by modeling and scaling.

In this Aurora Borealis worksheet, students read about how early scientists used triangulation to measure the height of the Aurora Borealis. Students solve 3 problems using triangulation.

Students measure different parts of the human body. In this measurement lesson, students work in pairs to take measurements of human measurements which include: arm span, height, foot length, and wrist to longest finger. They also...

Learners identify different types of functions and units of measurements. In this statistics lesson, students will collect data, graph their data and make predictions about their data. They plot a linear regression graph.

Third graders practice measuring items by examining classroom objects.  In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders utilize measuring tools to find the weight, time, length or temperature of specific classroom items.  Students predict...

First off, Newton's laws of motion aren't often taught at 2nd grade, so this lesson may be more appropriate for upper elementary learners. It begins with a discussion and demonstration of the laws of motion, and then has individuals...

Young scholars explore the concept of measurement.  In this measurement instructional activity, students collect data about themselves such as height, finger length, neck circumference, foot length, and other body...

There is so much more to data than just numbers, and this resource has learners use three methods of comparing data in a multi-faceted lesson. The 21-page packet includes a warm-up, examples, an activity, and assessment for a...

Pairs of geometry whizzes work together to determine which of three differently shaped cylinders will have the greatest volume. Pupils cut out the three rectangles embedded in the plan, and tape them together to form a cylinder. From...

Show high schoolers there is more to quadratic functions than just formulas and parabolas. Connect the math to realistic application problems with a resource that has learners consider such situations as a ball hit in the air, the...

Whales are all big, but some are larger than others! Kids will love sorting the 10 whale species by size at their desk (whale cut-outs provided). Next, use a whale rope to visualize how long each of these whales actually is. A large...

Learners are given a volume of a rectangular tank and are asked to find the water height. Because the total volume of the tank is given in liters, your geometers will need to use a unit ratio to convert to centimeters cubed. The exercise...

Each of these five rectangles has been split into even sections and scholars must figure the area based on the segmented shapes. There are five possible answers for them to match, however none have units attached. Keep in mind this is...

Young scholars examine how trees are measured and the different methods used.  In this density lesson students divide into groups and practice the different methods.

Students utilize triangulation techniques to determine altitudes of objects. An altitude locator is constructed and used to determine the height of a building or a tree. Tangent tables and formulas provide the ratio for the formula to...

In this integers and measurement worksheet, students solve 24 various types of problems as defined. They reduce all fractions to lowest terms. Then, students draw a diagram and show the measurements to the proper power and pi for the...

Students measure and correlate their foot lengths and body heights, then use this data to estimate height of Laetoli hominids. They use metric measurement and graphing to determine these heights.

Students measure and record weights and heights and compare to others in the class as they find out more about their bodies.

Students calculate the volume of the Pantheon's columns and estimate changes in weight given different parameters.

This is an integrated lesson that incorporates Social Studies, Science, and Mathematics. In Social Studies, 7th graders complete an online interview and complete an online worksheet about latitude of sites on the Anza trail. In Science...

Learners conduct an experiment to determine how the change in ramp height affects the distances a ball is able to move a stationary cup. Data is collected from several trials and recorded and analyzed.
