Help your young scientists learn which materials are affected by magnetic fields with an activity that presents the information about different types of materials — diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic — and their interaction...

Students predict the shape of a geometric figure in 3D. In this geometry lesson, students construct 3D shapes to perfect their knowledge of measuring and predicting. This assignment is also available as an online interactive...

Fifth graders look at different ways to measure rice. In this rice measurement lesson, 5th graders see the metric and customary measurements. They discuss how rice is measured by length, area of the field, weight, volume and yield. 

In this measurement learning exercise, students are presented with the measurements of two items. They compute the upper and lower limits of the range of tolerance for the measurements. Students find the absolute error and percent of...

In this maximum and minimum points worksheet, students solve and complete 12 various types of problems. First, they find the area of the smallest triangle given the point of intersection. Then, students find the volume of a box that has...

Students calculate the volume of the Pantheon's columns and estimate changes in weight given different parameters.

Students explore the size of one ton. They research the capacity of sialing ships and estimate the volume of rectangular prisms. Students perform activities to discover the capacity of a classroom in tons.

In this integers and measurement worksheet, students solve 24 various types of problems as defined. They reduce all fractions to lowest terms. Then, students draw a diagram and show the measurements to the proper power and pi for the...

Students examine the metric system and practice reading several different measuring devices.  For this investigative lesson students participate in an activity that helps them know the metric system. 

Young scholars collect as much information as possible about their egg and record the information in a systematic way. They prepare a description of the egg your team was given that enable you to distinguish your egg from everyone else's...

Tenth graders study the concept of risk analysis as it relates to geometry. In this spatial relationship instructional activity, 10th graders are provided a set of coordinates to analyze a piece of land described. Students write a...

Students are introduced to the concept of surface tension, its dependence on material composition, and how it can produce uniquely shaped surfaces.

Fifth graders estimate perimeter, area, and volume. They measure perimeter and area using nonstandard units of measurement. Students add and subtract non-standard units of measurement. They add mixed numbers and simplify the sum.

Students examine a math worksheet and determine how to divide a single triangle into four of equal area. Using geometric principles, they sketch two additional ways to divide into into four equal triangles. To conclude, students...

Students measure the temperature of three water sources. They collect data points every second for twenty five seconds for each sample using Lego Robolab temperature sensors, complete a worksheet, and analyze the data.

Students compare the size and shape of tubes that can be measured, to the size and shape of "nanowhiskers" that are too small to see. They practice measuring, calculating and graphing the ratio of circumference to diameter of a circle,...

Students discover the relationship between the circumference of a circle and its diameter. They find the length of an arc of a circle.Students use estimation strategies in real-world applications to predict results (i.e., interpolation...

In this algebra worksheet, students manipulate integers to add, subtract, multiply and divide using order of operation. They rewrite word problems and solve for the unknown. There are 24 questions with an answer key.

Students analyze convex polyhedra through hands on methods. In this geometrical shapes instructional activity, students construct paper models of convex polyhedra and identify the different properties including the number of sides, faces...

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students explore the concept of tessellations and lines, planes, angles, and polygons. Students experiment with the area and perimeter of polygons. Students analyze...

Young scholars explore what happens to water as it goes from solid to liquid and back. In this state of matter lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state.

Students plot a hiking course using aerial photos and a topographic overlay and find the latitude and longitude of absolute locations. They measure the total distance of a hiked area and figure the area of the ground walked using Heron's...
