In this metric measure learning exercise, students solve 6 conversions, 3 comparisons and answer 5 questions about the best unit of measure for given items. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.

In this unit of measurement worksheet, middle schoolers identify the symbols for the metric units of measurement. They write the appropriate unit of measurement for eight statements and they solve three density problems.

Students comprehend that density depends on the type of material and not on the amount of material. They use a spoonfl of table salt and a box of table salt and have the same density. Pupils comprehend that density is calculated by...

Students work in small groups. They grab a handful of ice, and place the ice in an empty beaker of ice using a triple beam balance. Students heat up the beaker of ice over a hot plat until the ice has changed into water. They measure...

For this measurement and safety worksheet, students find the terms in a word search puzzle for 13 statements about the SI units of measurement, the prefixes for the units and measurements of mass, length, and volume. They answer 2...

High schoolers circulate through stations to determine the proper instrument to make a certain type of measurement. They must make measurements of mass, volume, length, area, electrical current, temperature and force.

Students use graph paper to construct a graph and determine the slope of a straight line. They determine the weight (mass) of paper clips with a pan balance. Pupils weigh an unknown number of paper clips, and to interpret the graph to...

Students discover how units of measurement help people to categorize objects. For this measurement lesson, students discuss various units of measurement, use creativity to invent new possible units of measure, and learn the history of...

First graders measure weight and capacity. In this measurement lesson plan, 1st graders explore visual examples of weight and capacity comparisons. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

In this science activity, middle schoolers examine some random items and estimate the mass according to the measurements given. Then they complete the lab.

In this mass worksheet, students fill out a two column notes sheet about mass. Students fill in short answers for 17 places in the notes sheet.

In this math worksheet, middle schoolers solve the problems using measurement conversions. They concentrate on the units used for capacity, weight, mass, and area.

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.

In this ordering measurements worksheet, students rewrite 6 statistics in each of 3 tables with the largest measurement first.

In this online interactive math skills instructional activity, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems regarding metric and customary measurement. Students may view the correct answers.

Students 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...

Upper graders practice their estimation skills by observing different objects then making their best guess without using measuring instruments. Students are asked to estimate mass, length, volume, and area.

Prepare your chemistry charges for stoichiometry with this PowerPoint. The objective is to be able to calculate molar mass for different compounds. Beginning with the foundational definition of moles and moving through atomic and...

This compact collection of slides explains the history and use of the mole unit. Relative atomic mass, as John Dalton understood it, is explained. Avogadro's number is also introduced. The mole, or the unit for the amount of a substance,...

First graders explore geometry by completing a worksheet in class. In this non-standard measurement unit lesson, 1st graders discuss different techniques for measuring items without the use of a ruler. Students read several short stories...

Students discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...

How would a pendulum work on the moon or Jupiter? To answer that question scholars control up to two pendulums including their location, length, mass, and amplitude. Added controls include changing the friction and strength of gravity....

How hard do you need to throw a ball in the air so that it never returns? Scientists call this measure the escape velocity. Classes can explore this concept through an intriguing interactive lesson. Pupils adjust velocities and observe...

In this measurement activity, students find someone in their class who knows what instruments measure temperature, mass, density and length and they write their names down and their answers. They also identify the units of measurements.
