Explore the use of non-standard units for measuring volume with elementary learners. They fill a container and count the number used using cups, spoons, and bottles, build with blocks and count the number of blocks used, and compare and...

Space scientists use water displacement to determine the mass of a cubic centimeter mini meteorite, and then use it as a small-scale representative of an asteroid. They figure out the orbital velocity of an asteroid. Then they use a...

Students investigate the coefficients in a chemical equation and their relation to moles. In this moles and coefficients lesson plan, students perform a single replacement reaction of copper (II) sulfate and zinc and find the ratio of...

Is it easy to make snow? Scholars use critical thinking skills as they investigate the concept of polymers by making snow. The class tests several different variables and takes measurements over the course of several days. They then...

In this mass measurement story problems instructional activity, students use their problem solving skills to find mass measurements in order to solve 5 problems.

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

Learners explore the concept of mass, and how it differs from weight. They also calculate their weight change as they ride up and down on an elevator. They record the changes in their weight as the elevator moves graph the collected data.

In this mass measurement worksheet, learners find the missing numbers by converting the metric units of mass. Students then study the pictures and choose the better estimate of the mass of each. Learners compare the final metric units by...

In this measurement word search puzzle learning exercise, students locate 10 words that are included in a word bank at the bottom of the page. They find words such as length, weight, volume, and weight.

For this moles worksheet, students convert measurements of moles to mass, measurements of mass to moles, measurements of moles to atoms or molecules and measurements of atoms or molecules to moles.

Learners comrehend that water displacement is a simple way to measure the volume of a solid object. They pour water into a graduated cylinder or measuring cup and its volume is read and recorded. Pupils the volume of an object by...

Students assess human impact on water quality. They determine how the force of friction retards motion. Pupils describe and measure quantities that characterize moving objects and their interactions within a system: Time, Distance,...

Students use calculator and non-calculator methods for analyzing data. They apply data collection and analysis in a study of mass and weight. Students enhance and apply the concept of line of best fit. They master graphing in a plane,...

In this momentum instructional activity, students review the equations for finding momentum using the mass and speed. They solve eighteen problems using the equation for momentum to find the unknown.
