Eighth graders measure irregular and regular shaped solids.  In this investigative lesson students calculator volume, mass and density of wood and blocks.

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.

In this experiments worksheet, students determine the weight and mass of different objects. Students review variables in an experiment. This worksheet has 8 short answer questions and 11 problems to solve.

In this science measurement learning exercise, students practice calculating volume, density, and area as it relates to science experiments. This learning exercise has 4 multiple choice and 2 problems to solve.

Students discuss what the m in E=mc2 represent. They relate that mass in a chemical reaction is always conserved. Students convey that atoms rearrange themselves in chemical reactions to form different molecules and compounds.

Young scholars 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...

Fourth graders discuss Newton's Second Law of Motion, and the acceleration of fast and slow moving objects. They experiment with items with different masses to determine the effect mass has on acceleration using a toy car. They complete...

Students calculate their BMI and compare it to a healthy weight chart.  In this health lesson, students compare the perception of overweight with healthy weight charts. Students interpret collected data and evaluate their own weight...

In this metric worksheet, students examine conversion factors for length, mass, volume and area. Definitions of prefixes and metric abbreviations are identified.

Eighth graders determine the density using mass and volume. In this science lesson plan, 8th graders explain why some materials float or sink. They estimate the density of objects based on whether it floats or sinks in a liquid of...

Third graders measure distance using nonstandard units of measure. In this measurement lesson, 3rd graders measure a given distance through the use of the game "Mother May I?" Student gather and compare data on how many "giant steps" and...

Students measure and label specified angles. In this angles lesson, students use a protractor to find angles that are acute, obtuse, and reflexive. Students then label each angle and match the angles the correct definition. This lesson...

Students define density in their own words. In this physics instructional activity, students calculate density using mass and volume. They explain why some objects sink and some float.

In this density of the human body activity, students measure several parts of the body to calculate the body volume. Students convert the body volume to body mass and body density.

Young scholars use conversion factors to solve problems. In this algebra activity, students convert between Metric and English Units. They measure different objects and using both systems in their units.

Students calculate the mean, median, mode, range, and interquartile range for a set of data. They create a box and whisker plot using paper, pencil and technology.

Students colloborate in a lab experiment. No OBJECTIVES.

Ninth graders compare ancient and modern technology in water transporting. In this lesson on the evolution of the aqueduct, 9th graders build a working aqueduct model and examine its components. They explain the importance and use of the...

Young scholars, in groups, estimate measurments and then select the tools needed and measure various items at Black Bayou Lake refuge.

Students identify what mass is and how to measure an object with a balance in gram units. Students identify weight and how to measure with a spring scale in units of force. Students compare the masses of two objects by placing each on...

Learners calculate the volume of scale model dinosaurs using a water displacement method. They use formulas to calculate the live mass each of the species of dinosaur. Then they complete and discuss a series of questions.

Students determine the average mass of a new element using masses from three isotopes. In this chemistry instructional activity, students explain what an isotope is. They discuss their importance and uses.

In this mathematics activity on measurement, 6th graders complete the missing entries in a table on milliliters and decimeters. Then they write using the correct units with their correct prefix. Students also change each into their basic...

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