Lead the class in a review of the basic concepts and procedures involved in measuring length, weight, and volume. After whole group instruction, small groups and individuals practice measuring by completing a variety of fun activities...

As your scholars become comfortable with liquid mass and volume units, give them these addition and subtraction word problems to help apply the skill. There are no conversion or fraction skills involved. After solving four word problems,...

Whatever floats your boat. Young engineers learn about density by measuring the masses and volumes of boxes filled with different materials. Using their knowledge of densities, they hypothesize whether objects with given densities will...

Middle schoolers discover how to relate collected data with a box and whiskers graph in a number of formats. They collect, organize, create, and interpret a box and whiskers graph. Pupils interpret the difference between sets of data,...

Most scholars associate density with floating, but how do scientists determine the exact density of an unknown liquid? The third lesson in a seven-part series challenges scholars to find the mass and volume of two unknown liquids. Each...

Second graders measure weight, mass, and capacity. In this measurement lesson, 2nd graders model how to measure amounts of liquid by using containers that measure one cup, one pint, and one quart. Students compare the mass of each...

Young scientists learn that seeing isn't necessarily believing when it comes to the states of matter. After performing a fun class demonstration that models the difference between solids, liquids, and gases, children complete a series of...

If you need a way to assess the concepts in your physical science class, use an extended set of worksheets as a midterm or final exam. It includes questions about density, physical and chemical matter, speed and velocity, weight and...

High schoolers explore displacement. In this displacement and density lesson, pupils find the volume of irregular shaped objects. Afterward, they determine the volume of containers. They compute the amount of water displacement.

Middle schoolers explore geometry by completing a physics activity on-line. In this mass measurement lesson, pupils define the terms mass, volume, and density and identify their relationship with each other. They complete an on-line...

Students are able to measure various objects using English and metric systems within half of the smallest unit of the measurement device. Students identify units of length, volume, mass and temperature according to International System...

Third graders practice measuring different objects. They discover the concepts of ratio and proportion and practice converting numbers into the correct unit. They read stories as well to help them with the concepts.

Young scholars use an appropriate unit of measure to measure an item in the classroom. They create a PowerPoint to demonstrate the measurement process. Pupils are divided into pairs. Students use a concept map to discuss the terms for...

In this measurement worksheet, students convert 10 metric units of measurement to standard or English units for liquids, mass, and length. This worksheet is printable and no answers are available.

Students investigate the relationship between volume and mass in different liquids such as vegetable oil, rubbing alcohol and water. They measure the mass of several different volumes of each liquid and then graph the results as well as...

For this metric units of measurement worksheet, students read information about estimating lengths and masses, then solve 65 problems. Sample problems with solutions are included.

How are skyscrapers built? What does it take to make a structurally sound building? How can one work within a budget to complete a building project? These guiding questions will be investigated and answered within a hands-on lesson....

n this geometric activity, students define and identify two dimensional shapes based on their attributes. They complete worksheets based on the geometric concepts.

Learners explore physical science by conducting a measurement experiment. In this mass lesson, students identify the differences between mass and weight and define a list of other vocabulary terms. Learners utilize electronic scales and...

First graders explore number sense by participating in a measurement estimation activity. In this weight lesson plan, 1st graders discuss the differences between measurement units, both English and Metric. Students examine a loaf of...

Students find the mass, volume, and density of various objects. In this density measurement lesson, students observe how same-sized objects can have different masses, then use water displacement to find the density of each object and...

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...

Students explore comparing and ordering volume of containers. They use the context of Goldilocks and the Three Bears to compare the volume of various containers by packing or pouring.

Students explore the measurements of capacity by constructing a creative project in the shape of a man. The man has body parts that represent different units of measurement and can be used to make conversions. This is highly concrete and...
