Here is a good lesson which aptly describes how to do the classic "Oobleck" lab with your young scientists. Unfortunately, the "Oobleck Investigation Sheet" in the plan doesn't open. However, this is a very clear description about how to...

Students solve problems with percents, decimals and fractions. In this algebra lesson, students convert between fractions, percents and decimals. They estimate their answers and calculate their answer.

Students design a simple boat and predict how much weight it can carry. They should also discover why objects float or sink and how this can be determined experimentally. A great lesson on buoyancy!

Fourth graders practice estimating temperatures. They practice in Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Students explore gases. In this chemical energy lesson, students will observer chemical reactions and infer a conclusion about reaction producing gasses.

Young scholars examine why diffusion and osmosis happen in an egg cell.  In this diffusion lesson plan students demonstrate a semi permeable membrane.

Students use funnels to put the five solid materials into clear bottles with caps. They observe how the particulate materials look, sound, and move when they shake and roll the bottle. Finally, students write "sound and touch" poetry.

Students study Avogadro's law and what it means in science.  In this gaseous instructional activity students complete an Avogadro's law experiment.   

Students explore math functions by solving word problems in class. In this multiplication lesson, students utilize colored cubes and base blocks to visualize multiplication problems. Students identify the multiplication values within...

Students use four different computer estimation applets with several classroom estimation activities.

For this metric system worksheet, students read about metric and place value relationships, examine some sample problems, and then complete 5 conversion charts.

In this chemical reactions worksheet, students determine the reaction rate for various reactions, write balanced equations, create graphs showing the reaction over time, and calculate the activation energy and potential energy. This...

In this Cyberchase Media Gallery, explore key concepts about liquid volume, including standard units of liquid measure and how to convert between them. In the accompanying classroom activity, students create a complete conversion chart...

In this lab, middle schoolers will measure and combine colored liquids to receive the expected results. The intended outcome would be to take primary colored liquids, measure them and combine them to create a "rainbow" colored set of...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This learning module offers four videos and a set of practice questions on how to find the capacity of liquid by filling containers with liquids (English Units).

A brief overview of the definition of volume, and a description on how to measure the volumes of liquids.

This interactive game has students apply skills in estimation, measurement, and basic addition using pearls. Students are asked to estimate the number of pearls in a treasure chest by making predictions and using number sense. The skills...

The Center for Mathematics and Science Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provides an interesting and easy-to-use dictionary of the history and meaning of many measurement terms. Metric, International, and...

In this video from Cyberchase, Bianca is babysitting infant twins. As she tries to give each twin the same amount of liquid baby formula, she discovers that all the baby bottles are different shapes. Learn how she finds two that hold the...

In this exercise, students practice arithmetic word problems with volume. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure and estimate liquid...

Tells the story of how Archimedes discovered the Archimedes Principle and his water displacement method for determining the volume and density of an object. Provides an explanation and several examples of how it is done.

Students act as chemical engineers and use LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robotics to record temperatures and learn about the three states of matter. Properties of matter can be measured in various ways, including volume, mass, density and...

In this exercise, students practice arithmetic word problems with mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints, watch a tutorial video, and try questions repeatedly. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure...

In this exercise, students practice estimating mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get step-by-step hints and try questions repeatedly. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure and estimate liquid volumes and...
