Fourth graders explore basic measurements by analyzing their own bodies. In this human anatomy lesson, 4th graders identify the units used to measure a human body such as centimeters, inches, ounces and pounds. Students complete a...

Pupils demonstrate measurement and estimation skills. In small groups, they are given a measurement, predict what object in the classroom is equal to that specific measurement, and record their data in a table that includes the...

Young scholars explore vertical and horizontal measurement of large objects. In pairs, they measure the trunk, crown, and height of a tree, create a graph of their results, and compare their results with their classmates.

In this math worksheet, students analyze a seven by eight inch grid. Students may use the grid for a variety of math activities, including measuring or creating shapes.

Fourth graders measure wind speed over a week's time uisng a ping pong and a protractor and graph the results. They convert the number of degrees to miles per hour using a scale. They discuss patterns and relationships.

You don't need a scale to determine weight. This activity provides a way to use the concepts of air pressure and surface area to determine the weight of a vehicle by calculating the amount of weight each tire supports.

In this measurement instructional activity, student measure 10 pictures of common objects using a paper clip. Students then measure in inches.

Third graders measure wind direction. In this weather lesson, 3rd graders build a weather vane from a straw, skewer, spool, and flag. Students measure wind direction using their weather vane.

Eighth graders measure in feet and inches and convert to explore the relationship between the converted measurements. In this measurement lesson, 8th graders use the whisker and box plot to represent the measurement of a cat. ...

In this estimation worksheet, students estimate and measure ten landmarks from the fountain in inches. Students also answer two word problems involving coordinates.

Students calculate the length of the classroom using non-standard units of measurement and estimation. Using a cracker box, they discuss measuring various objects in the room as a class, and independently estimate and measure the length...

Students explore the physical properties of eggs. In this scientific observation lesson, students define characteristics of eggs, measure eggs vertically and horizontally, and use the scientific method to perform simple experiments using...

Here is a lesson on how to convert inches to centimeters using bubblegum. In this measurement lesson plan, learners get into partners and blow bubbles. One student blows bubbles while the other measures the bubble in inches. Then the...

Second graders investigate a measurement web site before taken an online quiz about standard units of measurement. They determine how to read a ruler and take a twenty question quiz. They write about what they learned using a word...

In this measurement worksheet, students measure 10 lines to the nearest half-inch. Teacher must provide rulers.

Third graders find symmetry in their body. In this symmetry lesson, 3rd graders look at different geometric shapes and identify which ones are symmetrical and find their line of symmetry. They measure body parts to the nearest half inch...

For this chemistry worksheet, students determine two conversion factors for each relationship given. Then they convert each statement as indicated. Students also convert each of the examples using the metric conversion chart.

Students demonstrate use of an Emission tube power supply, a diffraction grating, and a scientific calculator to determine the different wavelengths of light.

Take your class out to visit your automobile and use the tires to compute the weight of the vehicle. This is done by measuring the surface of the tire meeting the ground and the air pressure. This is a fun lesson in the relationship...

A fabulous plan on teaching basic concepts of measurement to young learners. Pupils use nonstandard units to measure length, practice using a ruler and a yardstick, compare the length of two objects, and perform estimations of length....

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...

We would be lost without maps! How are they made? Introduce junior topographers to LIDAR technology with a fascinating activity. Set up a mock city, then have learners operate a laser measure to determine the shape of the landscape using...

In this unit conversions worksheet, students solve 13 problems using given conversion factors to convert measurements from one unit of measurement to another.

In this length and width worksheet, 2nd graders draw 6 specific items or objects that are the following measurements: 6 feet tall, 3 inches long, 9 inches long, 1 inch wide, 25 feet long and 4 feet long.
