Students will use everyday items and speeds to describe the dimensions of a massive flood that occurred in the Pacific Northwest near the end of the last ice age.

Students investigate surface tension, adhesion and cohesion. In this surface tension lesson plan, students complete 3 activities to better understand the concepts of surface tension, adhesion and cohesion. Students add drops of water to...

High schoolers investigate pressure and volume as they relate to gases. In this pressure and volume lesson plan, students observe multiple demonstrations related to air pressure. The develop an understanding of the relationship between...

In this quantitative analysis worksheet, students perform a lab to determine the amount of acetic acid in vinegar by doing a titration. They use an indicator phenolphthalein to determine the endpoint of the titration.

A fun (and delicious!) lesson teaches measurement to your third graders. They work in small groups to first predict, then to measure the weight, circumference, and number of seeds found in a watermelon. Everyone gets to eat watermelon...

Students explore perimeter and area of regular and irregular polygons. They experiment with color squares and create different arrangements using the same number squares. Then they compare the area and perimeter measurements of each.

Student identify the three stationary positions, on the Earth, on the Moon, and in a house floating atop the cloud layers of Jupiter. They also identify the three orbiting positions, orbiting the Earth, orbiting the Moon, and orbiting...

In this metric system worksheet, students complete a kilogram and gram table using the conversion table for help. Students then convert the given measurements and finish with several measurement conversion word problems.

For this weight and volume mathematical worksheet, students calculate the volume and weight in sixteen metric units in litres and millilitres.

In this metric weight worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice questions regarding metric units of weigh or mass.  Students must be able to convert metric units of mass or weight.  The worksheet is interactive and answers...

Students review the procedure for determining appropriate types of measurements for given situations and measurement conversions. They figure perimeter, area, and volume of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.

Here is a short, and very basic presentation which quizzes pupils on reading a scale. In each of the three slides, there are pictures of scales with an object on them. Pupils must correctly read the weight and call it out, or tell where...

Fourth graders investigate the weight/mass of a number of items using grams, and equivalents. They examine the use of a triple beam balance before massing objects including oil and water. They go over the weights they amassed and weigh...

In this weight measurements activity, students identify each picture and then estimate how much the object weighs. Students circle the answer in ounces and pounds that gives the best estimate for the 9 problems.

In this measurements worksheet, students complete the 9 sets of length and weight measurement activities to help them learn measurements.

Students determine the temperature of the water in a cup, measure the length of a piece of cardboard, and measure out an appropriate volume of water. This task assesses student's abilities to perform measurement and reporting skills.

Young scholars experience why ice floats and the differences in weight of frozen water to liquid water. Students explore why ice floats. They use math skills such as: graphing, applying procedures, weighing and measuring. Young...

For this measurements worksheet, students study the illustrated pictures in the 8 sets of problems. Students compare the pictures by length or weight.

In this estimate weight worksheet, students study the illustrated image and estimate how much the object weighs. Students circle the best estimate for the 9 problems.

Students use a balance and gram cubes to measure several different objects. They then record their results on a data chart and answer questions about them.

In this weight learning exercise, students solve 6 equations using weight and 5 similar word problems. Problems use addition and subtraction.

Sixth graders record the weight of themselves and 3 family over a week, and then use that data to compile 2 bar graphs and 4 line graphs and answer a series of questions.

Students examine a variety of gold weights used by the Asante in West Africa. In groups, they discuss the purpose of the gold weights and practice saying proverbs associated with different pieces of art. To end the lesson, they...

How do computers sort data lists? Using eight unknown weights and a balance scale, groups determine the order of the weights from lightest to heaviest. A second instructional activity provides the groups with other methods to order the...
