Perimeter
Learners use their hands, feet, computer, and rulers to measure the perimeter of objects. For this measurement lesson plan, students measure objects around the room and computer generated shapes.
Curated OER
Distance over Time
Students analyze velocity and how it is determined. They experiment with velocity in order to measure and calculate the magnitude of speed. They use examples in their novel "Skateboard Renegade" to relate velocity to real life situations.
Curated OER
How Large is a Mole of M&M's
Students calculate whether or not a mole of M&M's fill their high school. They practice factor-labeling, define a mole, and calculate the number of cubic feet per mole of M&M's. To answer the question they measure and calculate...
Curated OER
Inching Worms
Third graders have a blast trying to measure live, wiggly, stretching worms to the nearest inch. Groups record their data onto a class graph and then compare characteristics. They share their findings with the rest of the class. Fun lesson!
Curated OER
Leaping Lemurs! How far can you jump?
Students watch a segment of the PBS video which show the lemurs' ability to jump. In pairs, students collect measurement data involving each other's length of a standard step, a standing broad jump, and a long jump. They record their...
Curated OER
Volume
Pupils participate in a teacher demonstration of the water level in different beakers to investigate the measurement of volume. Next, working in small groups, they replicate the demonstration and determine how the measurements in the...
Curated OER
Is It There?
Students participate in a instructional activity designed to illustrate these concepts using simple materials. They use Science process skills to observe, measure, predict, make inferences, and communicate while completing the activity....
Curated OER
Circles Minilab
Students learn how to measure the diameter and circumference of a circle. In this circle instructional activity, students organize their data to create a graph. Students utilize their graph to make an inference about the slope of pi.
Curated OER
Puzzling Perimeters
Third graders use estimation, fractions and decimals to determine the perimeter of objects in the classroom. They are given a worksheet with a list of the items on it. The worksheet has columns beside each of the items for estimation and...
Curated OER
Can you Find the Expression
Learners collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph provided the best...
Curated OER
Denser Sensor
Fourth graders calculate density, compare densities of solids and liquids, measure liquids using a balance, and investigate the significance of density. They conduct an experiment to determine an order of densities, and complete a...
Curated OER
Baseball Proportion
Eighth graders measure regular baseball bats and souvenir bats in centimeters. They determine how tall a person would be to be in proportion to the souvenir bat, create a poster depicting the person, and explain the proportional...
Curated OER
Simple Angles
Third graders identify and construct right, acute and obtuse angles and begin to appreciate the degree and unit of measurement of angle. They know the degree value of angles that are simple fractions of a whole turn know that the angle...
Curated OER
Boxing On
Students participate in five center activities in which they construct three dimensional objects using cubic centimeter manipulatives such as sugar cubes and toothpaste boxes. They determine the volume of the objects. They build a model...
Curated OER
How Creepy!
Pupils observe and measure a model of slow down slope movement. In this graphing lesson students collect, record, and organize data that apply to models.
Curated OER
In a Galaxy Far, Far, Far Away
Sixth graders compare distances between objects in the solar system. They investigate how light years are measured and when using them to measure how distances compare with one another. They write an essay exploring the possibility of...
Curated OER
Scale Matters
Third graders study the meaning of the digits an any whole numbers with up to 3 decimal places. They order decimals with up to 3 decimal places and perform measuring tasks, using a range of units and scales.
Curated OER
Meteor Monitor
Student's measure sporadic meteor activity. In this physics and astronomy lesson, 11th graders construct a dipole antennae, and build, test and wire a full wave diode rectifier between the dipole antenna and the laptop.
Curated OER
Building a Scale Model
Third graders create a model of the solar system. In this solar system lesson, 3rd graders create a scale model of the solar system. Working in pairs students solve mathematical problems to correctly measure the distance each planet is...
