Students role play as paleontologists who make inferences about the weight of dinosaurs. They use models and the density of water to make these inferences.

Students are introduced to the four forces of flight--drag, lift, thrust, and weight--through a variety of fun-filled flight experiments. They "fly" for short periods and evaluate factors that might either increase or decrease their...

Learners measure craters. In this crater lesson, students make a flat surface of flour and drop different size craters from different heights. They measure each of the craters to see how height, size and mass affects the crater size. 

In this area of a parallelogram activity, 10th graders determine the measurement of 10 different parallelograms illustrated. First, they multiply the base of the parallelogram times its height to determine the area. Then, students...

Students measure the relative heights of the mosaic giraffe and its trainer and compare their proportions to an actual giraffe and zoo trainer.

Students apply their math and measuring skills to create "tree trunk" panels for their tropical rain forest. They use their recorded information to construct strips of paper that are correct height.

Third graders measure each other's height and find the mean, median, and mode for the height of students in their class. They line up tallest to shortest and discuss the most appropriate measure of central tendency for the class.

Students investigate work and power. For this energy lesson, students use the scientific method process to explore how much work and power it takes for a person to climb a stair case.

Middle schoolers complete a lab in order to discover if the length of a viewing tube, its diameter, or the distance from an object affect the type of data collected and the resulting graph.

Students explore measurements.

Students design a "container" for his/her egg to determine whether the egg remain intact when dropped from a predetermined height.

Seventh graders use previously completed graphs. They discuss what the graph tells them. They discuss height, and discuss the range of the class height. Students graph data of their height with a bar graph, and repeat with eye color.

Students measure, analyze, and compare the ancient Egyptian canon of proportions using a mummy, painted images, and photographs of people today.

Learners, through lecture and guided practice, discover the properties of similar triangles. They use given measurements of one triangle to find a missing measurement of a similar triangle. They apply this knowledge in real-life...

Eighth graders measure irregular and regular shaped solids.  In this investigative lesson students calculator volume, mass and density of wood and blocks.

Students investigate variables that influence the bouncing of balls.  In this exploratory lesson students observe how the manipulated and control variable are correlated by graphing the data.

Young scholars solve word problems by using basic geometry. For this geometry lesson, students use geometric formulas to find the perimeter, area, and volume of objects. Young scholars complete a worksheet.

Students work together to determine how fast trees go. They make predictions and complete simple measurements. They answer questions to end the instructional activity.

High schoolers work together in groups to collect data in relationship to how much water marbles can displace. After the experiment, they use the data to identify the linear equation to determine the best-fit line. They use the...

Third graders watch a demonstration on how craters were formed on the moon. Individually, they care given a set of materials that represent the moon surface and make their own craters. To end the lesson plan, they measure the size of...

Students create an "skinny student" model of their own bodies on register tape. In small groups, they record measurements of their bodies then use these measurements to build and decorate the scale models including the positions of...

Students predict, then measure how far a bug can travel on a "course" over a specified amount of time, then construct graphs based on the data they acquire.

Young scholars practice using measurements and bar graphs to solve a running problem in this active Math lesson for various age levels. The lesson meets state standards in Mathematics and requires the use of "math journals" for final...

Pupils identify the concepts of density, mass, and volume that define the property of a substance. They also determine that the properties of materials, such as, density and volume, can be compared and measured by using rulers, balances,...
