Learners compare the digestive systems of the buffalo and of the zebra, diagram their systems, and compare their lengths. In this digestive system lesson plan, students learn about their diets as well.

In this volume and surface area activity, 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, students...

Third graders explore tessellations and the spatial concepts used in creating them.  In this tessellations lesson, 3rd graders rotate, reflect and transform shapes to create tessellations.  Students become familiar with the...

In this measuring chemicals worksheet, high schoolers investigate measurements of an aluminum slab including the length, width, height, mass, volume and density. They do the same for a piece of aluminum foil and they compare their...

Students determine the molar volume of hydrogen gas. In this molar volume lesson plan, students find the molar volume of hydrogen produced in a reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid. They use a eudiometer to measure the volume...

In this geometry worksheet, 6th graders study comprehensive facts pertaining to volume and measurement of geometric, three-dimensional figures. Students solve for 59 problems showing their work.

For this measurement worksheet, students fill in a chart with the proper SI units, measurements and symbols. They also practice converting from one metric unit to another. They express numbers in scientific notation.

Show high schoolers there is more to quadratic functions than just formulas and parabolas. Connect the math to realistic application problems with a resource that has learners consider such situations as a ball hit in the air, the...

Students measure their body. For this measurement lesson, students use a string to measure their height and the circumference of their head. They record this information on the worksheet provided and answer questions as a group. 

Second graders examine human body movements by measuring the choreography of a dance.  In this physical education instructional activity, 2nd graders participate in a creative dance which is based on specific movements of each limb,...

This sequence of slides is a fabulous introduction to the concept of density as it relates to mass, volume, physical impact, and interpretation. Various examples are given and your class will find the charts and procedures helpful in...

Learners explore volume in relation to centimeter cubes and other nonstandard units of measurement using small containers. They will use hands-on materials to practice this concept. You will need small objects and containers to set this up.

Determine the level of understanding within your classes using a summative assessment. As the final lesson in a 29-part module, the goal is to assess the topics addressed during the unit. Concepts range from linear angle relationships,...

Examine the concept of stoichiometry using common household products. Scholars perform chemical reactions and measure the reactants and products. They compare their measurements to predictions made from the chemical equations.

Students work with measurements of length, area, and volume capacity of a liquid. They watch a teacher demonstration of both English and metric units before they estimate and take actual measurements of assigned items a three different...

Fifth graders investigate units used to measure different geometric situations. In this geometry lesson, 5th graders measure length, mass, volume and temperature using units for measurements. They estimate the measurements before...

Young scholars measure various attributes of an orange. They discuss the attributes of an orange that can be measured, develop a list of attributes and describe how they can measure it, and rotate through four stations measuring the...

Students 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...

Third graders examine the non-standard method of measurement and compare it to the metric system of measurement. In this introductory module lesson, 3rd graders discover the scientific observation. Students also develop communication...

Groups of students rotate through five classroom stations to estimate, measure, and record volume, length, weight, mass, and area using both customary and metric measure. They evaluate their data to determine how close their estimates...

In this density activity, high schoolers are given 11 problems and they determine the density of the substance, the mass of the substance or the volume. They write the equation they use to solve the problem, they show their work and they...

Linear measurement is the focus of this math instructional activity. Youngsters work in groups to build towers with blocks. They build towers represented on index cards and determine how many blocks taller one tower is.

Chart your way to an understanding of nanoscale. Using a Google map, learners estimate a radius around their location of 1,000 and 1,000,000 meters. Predicting what 1,000,000,000 meters would look like takes them off the charts!...
