Students explore mass measurement. They complete a diagram of a triple beam balance. Students explore using the triple beam balance to determine the mass of an object. They discuss procedures for using the triple beam balance.

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...

Learners discover the property of density while participating in a lab exercise. In this scientific measuring lesson, pupils utilize a scale to measure the density of different metal materials. They document their work and present their...

Students 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. Students utilize electronic scales and...

Students measure a variety of objects using the appropriate measuring tool. In this measurement lesson, students explain the importance of accuracy and precision in collecting data. They discuss the difference between the two.

Students explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this density lesson, students examine a list of items and discuss whether they will sink or float and then determine their density. Students examine the objects over five days...

In this measurement activity, students complete each of the statements with the correct word related to the metric system. Then they match each letter marked with a number to those at the bottom of the sheet to complete the answer to the...

Students practice converting metric measurements by completing the activities listed in this lesson. They first practice measuring common objects. They then convert metric measurements using the included worksheet.

Sixth graders measure and investigate the densities of several objects. They, in teams, determine the mass and volume of each of the 5 objects and record the measurements in the data table.

Seventh graders, in groups, complete an Isotopes model and notice that atomic masses are decimal numbers. These masses are an average of all the isotopes of that element.

Here is a math lab that helps young mathematicians understand the real-life meaning for vector addition. By building a model using spring scales and washers as weight, and then calculating the vector addition using two different methods,...

High schoolers study Archimedes' Principle, flotation and the reaction of buoyant forces and explain the relationship between density and flotation.

Young scholars solve linear equations using two steps. In this algebra instructional activity, students add, subtract, multiply and divide to solve linear equations. They apply concepts of equations to a robot pulling cargo.
