Students participate in a variety of activities about how caterpillers become butterflies.

Young scholars calculate the weight of a motor vehicle using only a sheet of graph paper and a tire gauge. Extensions provided offer additional challenges.

The student will measure the width of the horns on drawings of longhorn cattle and then convert the measurements from inches to centimeters and from inches to feet.1. Review with students the steps required to measure an item and to...

Learners create a ruler for the purpose of measurement using the standard and metric systems. The rulers are of different lengths and are compared to one another. Then students make conversions of different lengths using both systems of...

In this volume and surface area worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 10 different word problems that include measuring various solids and cylinders. First, they determine the surface area of a cube and the edge of it. Then,...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders answer questions about right triangles by identifying the 3 sides of the triangle. They analyze the different shapes of polygons and relate them to right triangles to find the sides using the...

Students utilize computer programs to operate a simple robot.  In this technology instructional activity, students create robots using Lego pieces and simple motors to move them.  Students measure the speed of the robots by...

Students investigate the amount of rain that falls in their area through the construction and monitoring of a rain gauge. The gauge is observed for one week, recordings are made, and observations described in a chart.

In this multiplication and division worksheet, students answer multiple choice questions where they problem solve multiplication and division problems in word problems. Students answer 10 questions total.

In this multiplication and division learning exercise, students answer multiplication and division problems where they use charts and solve word problems. Students complete 10 problems total.

Students collect, organize, and display data using a bar graph, line graph, pie graph, or picture graph. They write a summary describing the data represented and compare the graph to another graph in the class.

Learners investigate the pulling force of CEENBoT. In this physics lesson, students suggest modifications to increase the kinetic coefficient of friction and eventually the pulling force. They write a complete lab report about the...

Students create an animal from Sculptamold and metal mesh. In this hands-on arts lesson plan, students use the materials provided the create a piece of art in the form of an animal. This lesson plan includes easy step-by-step directions.

Maps are great for helping you get where you're going, but what does that place actually look like? Geology scholars compare and contrast the features of topographical and geologic maps using an interactive lesson. The resource describes...

Here's an interactive that complements your lesson plans. Users of the resource adjust one of the angles in a complementary set to see how it affects the other. A set of challenge questions assesses understanding.

Soccer is all about angles. Young mathematicians use an interactive to correctly position the path of a soccer ball so that it reaches the goal. They consider complementary angles when answering a set of challenge questions.

The itsy, bitsy spider went up the virtual wall. An interactive allows users to change the angles in a spider web. They must attend to supplementary angles as they answer challenge questions throughout the interactive.

Learners engage in a study of mean, median, mode, and range in order to represent data in tables. They are also exposed to the results of data that is skewed because of the outlier.

Students explore the concept of boomerangs. In this boomerang lesson plan, students throw homemade boomerangs at different angles to record maximum distance and if it returned or not. Students collect their boomerang data then create a...

Physical or earth scientists construct this clever contraption to demonstrate how size effects frequency. Several paper rings of various sizes are taped onto a board and shaken to create vibrations. The resonant frequencies are easily...

Students investigate metric measurement. In this geometry lesson plan, students discover metric measurements of everyday objects as they compare them to US measurements.

Second graders, using one inch grid paper, create a foot long and a yard measuring tool.

In this length measurements worksheet, students play a game with a partner that helps them measure the three lengths on the pie charts. Students spin a pencil or paper clip to find the measurement and use a ruler to draw the length from...

Students review different units of measurement that would be used to measure height. They compare their height to that of Abraham Lincoln by working with a partner to make a life size tracing of each other and measuring their height.
