In this imperial units worksheet, students read the definitions to the following list of imperial units: mile, pint, gallon, foot, inch and pound.

In this energy from hydrocarbons worksheet, students read about endothermic and exothermic reactions and how hydrocarbons release heat as fuels. Students read how to measure heat changes in reactions and practice finding the specific...

Students explore the basic geometric shapes and geometric shape vocabulary through the use of geoboards and virtual geoboards. They create a variety of shapes with a partner, build ten different rectangles on their geoboards, and...

Students participate in a Mini-Olympics with measurements. In this measurement lesson, students throw items and predict how far they will go. They measure the actual distance and find the difference between that and their estimate. 

Second graders distinguish between and use nonstandard and standard units of measurement, use appropriate tools and techniques to measure length and width, and record and interpret data using graphs.

Students make fudge after reading fractional values in recipes and finding equivalent fractions to those presented in the recipes. They study measurement abbreviations.

Students practice estiminating and measuring angles. After watching a short video, they identify angles in objects in the classroom and their homes. In groups, they participate in activities in which they are given a scenerio and are...

Students make origami frogs to race. After the race they measure the distance raced, collect the data, enter it into a chart. They then find the mean, median, and mode of the data. Next, students enter this data into Excel at which time...

Two students are blindfolded and each receives a cardboard square, one with pompoms glued around the edge and one with pompoms glued all over the surface. They identify what they feel. The class discusses perimeter and area of polygons....

In this grammar worksheet, 2nd graders insert commas into each of the 13 sentences. This worksheet is on a second grade reading level....

Students explore the variety of ways to use solar energy. They investigate the thermal energy storage capacities of different test materials to determine which to use in passive solar building design. They explain how passive solar...

Students create an airplane by listening to directions. They also to measure the pieces for the airplane and compare and contrast their test flights.

Students explore the volume and surface area of three dimensional figures. Through the use of video, students discover three dimensional shapes, their uses in real-life applications, and methods used to calculate their volume and surface...

Students practice scientific inquiry while learning about bubbles. In this lesson about bubbles, students explore characteristics of bubbles. Students move through nine different "bubble" stations following directions and completing an...
