Students learn the metric units engineers use to measure mass, distance (or length) and volume. They make estimations using these units and compare their guesses with actual values. To introduce the concepts, the teacher needs access to...

In this first part of a two-part lab activity, students use triple balance beams and graduated cylinders to take measurements and calculate the densities of several common, irregularly shaped objects with the purpose to resolve confusion...

In this exercise, students practice estimating mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get step-by-step hints and try questions repeatedly. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure and estimate liquid volumes and...

Explore the "intelligent floor," which contains sensors that can track movements, and emulate the weighing technique associated with this technology. Explore the relationship between volume and mass and the difference between accuracy...

A complete tutorial that explains time, metric system, mass, length, volume, and temperature. Interactive practices and challenge games are included.

Solve word problems that involve converting between US customary measures of distance, volume, and mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This site contains an extensive list of various units of measurement known internationally and across several disciplines. Unit symbols are also included.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this learning module, students will learn the significance of using moles in converting between measurements and in understanding how much of something you have.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this online tutorial students will begin to identify the seven base units of the International System of Units. They will understand the commonly used metric...

A slideshow, a karaoke song to sing along to, and a short multiple-choice quiz on the topic of measurement and the tools that can be used to measure things, depending on the purpose, e.g., temperature, length, mass, angle, time, etc.

In this exercise, students practice arithmetic word problems with volume. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure and estimate liquid...

This metric system tutorial is compared to the U.S. standard system so that students can comprehend the measurement of length, volume, mass and the like.

This interactive game has students apply skills in estimation, measurement, and basic addition using pearls. Students are asked to estimate the number of pearls in a treasure chest by making predictions and using number sense. The skills...

In this activity, learners will measure a variety of different materials from the classroom to determine how much matter is found in these materials then determine the mass of these materials using the same volume for each. The data will...

Find out all about measurement in this test prep lesson exploring English and metric measurement. Students can compare metric and customary measurements using the conversion charts, assess how much they have learned using the interactive...

Students will learn the concept of volume by determining the amount of sand that is needed to fill the long-jump pit at their school (or any rectangular- or square-shaped container). This lesson will explain the importance of knowing how...

In this interactive lesson, learn what the "physical properties" of matter are and how can they be measured and observed.

Solve word problems that involve converting between metric measures of distance, volume, and mass, as well as measures of time. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or...

Convert metric measurements to U.S. Measurements and the reverse, too. Easy to follow tables have sections for area, length, mass,temperature and volume.

Use this converter to find equivalent units for a measure. You can convert measures for area, length, weight, temperature, and volume.

Students will use two different methods to determine the densities of a variety of materials and objects. The first method involves direct measurement of the volumes of objects that have simple geometric shapes, while the second uses the...

Unit reasoning helps us make sense of measurements by converting between measurement units and making reasonable estimates. For the Praxis test, we need to know common measurement units for length, time, volume, and mass, as well as how...

Convert between US customary measures of distance, volume, and mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This is the definitive source for information on SI base units, derived units, squares, cubes, luminosity, field strength and flux density.
