Students observe the 'pouring' of a gas. They compare the masses (weights) and densities of two gases. Pupils define the following terms: matter, mass, and density. Students answer questions after watching the demonstration.

Pupils compute the area of triangles in a computer program. For this measurement lesson plan, students complete 5 easy, 5 medium, and 5 hard problems.

Students design and build a balance using LEGO, string, and a set of standard metric weights.

Students complete experiments in which they discover the effect of the weight of the air above them. They use different weights of paper to complete the experiment. They also examine thunderstorm safety.

In this estimation of length worksheet, 7th graders complete 20 different problems that include the estimation of numbers. They determine the approximate weight of each illustration shown in the box. Then, students circle the correct...

In this matter worksheet, students unscramble 11 terms associated with the different forms of matter and how matter is measured.

Students make observations on the effects of a small, medium and large weight on the movement of a wig-wag apparatus. They use their observations to develop a generalized inference of the effect weight on movement patterns.

First graders read "How Long Is A Foot?" together and use paper clips, teddy bears, crayons and other non-standard units to measure items. They compare the items measured and order them from longest to shortest.

Students measure how much mass is worn away during 15-20 minutes of shaking. They shake rocks for 15-20 minutes to simulate stream erosion. Students listen to music as they shake their rocks. They weigh out 100 grams of marble chips....

Eighth graders experiment with M&M's and a cup attached to a spring to to simulate a bungee jump. They graph the results of the experiment and make predictions for continuing the experiment. They determine the "line of best fit."

Third graders describe an amount of turn from a particular position to another using the 'circular' benchmarks of 0, ++, ++, ++, and full turn. Estimation language such as 'just about', 'between', 'not quite', 'just over', and similar...

Students are able to explain why football running backs benefit from having a lower center of gravity when opponents are trying to tackle them. They explain why racing cars are designed to have a low center of gravity. Students explain...

Young scholars practice calculating the moment of inertia when discussing a skater and the position in which it is best to spin. After class discussion, students practice calculating inertia on their own.

Students are given the task of designing an apartment. In groups, they practice estimating the area and perimeter of different shapes. After designing their space, they apply the same formulas to solving real-world story problems.

In this observation tools worksheet, students will compare how a lens, a ruler, and a balance can help them learn about the properties of objects. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

In this length activity, students study the two objects in the 9 sets of problems and circle the object with the longest side. Students enhance their understanding of length.

In this length worksheet, students number the objects in order from shortest to longest. Students use the longest side of each to determine the order of length for the 9 problems.

Students measure the moisture found in the wood that is used for furniture making. In this moisture worksheet, students practice using the MC formula to measure the water content of the wood.

Students identify the length of an inch. In this measurement lesson, students read Inch by Inch and predict how many inches long various objects are. Students practice measuring the objects by using an inch ruler.

Students identify various units of measurement. For this measurement lesson, students learn several chants that combine metric vocabulary words and actions to reinforce the concepts learned.

Pupils use metrics to measure, draw, and cut out a boomerang from cardboard.

Students discover density.  In this density lesson, students discover the properties of objects that allow them to float or sink in water.

Students use the wrapper of a Hershey's Kiss to practice estimating, predicting and measuring. They measure with centimeter rulers.

Students design a blueprint of a building. In this measurement lesson, students design a building on paper. Students copy their building's measurements into the Microsoft Paint program and write word problems about their buildings....
