In this math worksheet, students use non-standard measurement to measure 5 classroom items and record the data. Students use their fingers and then ask a classmate to do the same. Students compare the data and answer 2 questions about...

The final lesson in the 21-part series on climate change focuses on energy solutions to the consumption problem. Using data specific to their school, pupils make recommendations, follow up on actions, and carefully track progress....

Open this lesson by demonstrating the production of acidic carbon dioxide gas by activated yeast. Emerging ecologists then experiment with seashells to discover the effect of ocean acidification on shelled marine organisms. They measure...

Address key vocabulary in the seventh grade Common Core Math Standards with this comprehensive list. A series of word cards is also provided that supports each term with images and examples, making this an excellent tool for teaching the...

Students visit a 2nd and a 4th grade class to measure the heights of older students using large building blocks as a non-standard unit of measure. They can also measure adults in the school community. Results are displayed in...

Read Pancakes for Breakfast by Tomi De Paola then participate in different activities which practice skills such as English language development, using non-standard measurement, fine motor skills, dramatic play, and using our five senses.

First graders measure 10 different objects found in the classroom, including their own hands and feet, then record their findings. This is a fun lesson for students to experience measurement using a ruler and unifix cubes.

Students review how to use an inch ruler and listen to the story, Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni. In this measuring lesson, students work in small groups to create an Inch Poster. Students then use an inch ruler to measure different objects...

Second graders use non-standard units and describing, naming, interpreting, and representing relative positions in space. They investigate various areas and objects they see each day to apply ideas of navigating in space and determine...

Students participate in a Metric Olympics event and use metric measurements to measure actual performances in their events. They throw a plastic straw for a javelin event, participate in a long jump and high jump event, and a variety of...

Fourth graders measure one centimeter cubed blocks to determine their size. They measure lines using a worksheet that is not included in the lesson. Next, they measure the area of figures on the sheet using the cubes in place of a ruler.

Need a lesson to fuel young minds? A variety of hands-on activities is sure to get your class fired up! Beginning with an introductory slideshow and culminating with group presentations, the week-long unit has something for everyone....

Class members use an air quality monitor to measure the amount of gas-phase pollutants emitted by different sources. Groups choose three different sources and make predictions about what the monitors will detect. Teams then expose...

Examine the relationship between time and geometry. A series of five lessons provides a grade-appropriate problem from elementary through high school. Each problem asks learners to compare the movement of the hands on a clock to an angle...

Second graders explore dinosaurs and identify them by their size. They compare the dinosaurs with objects around the school or on the playground. Students predict which dinosaurs are the largest and then measure the length of dinosaurs.

Students list in a journal what "measurement" is. They measure with standard and non-standard units and record data on a class chart. They also construct a meter tape.

Students use unconventional units of measure to estimate and measure.

Third graders measure distance using nonstandard units of measure. In this measurement lesson, 3rd graders measure a given distance through the use of the game "Mother May I?" Student gather and compare data on how many "giant steps" and...

Agriculture is truly a math-based profession! Help the dairy farmer determine the supplies needed to complete his barn. Using given dimensions, learners build equations and use units to determine the correct amount of materials.
