The concept of more or less is one that needs to be mastered prior to learning other concepts such as quantitative analysis, addition, or subtraction. This activity provides several ways to teach learners with low or no vision to...

Cooking often requires one to measure out ingredients. Build an understanding of relative measurements as well as a reference for future cooking projects with your special needs class. In a small group, you'll discuss various measurement...

How long can the cable get? A short performance task provides learners with information on the length of cables and the margin of error for each. They must determine the longest and shortest cable possible by splicing these cables.

This only has three problems, so consider simply projecting it and doing it with the whole class. First, they examine two baseball bats and circle the shorter one. Then, they consider which of two containers will hold more. Finally,...

Stop the summer lag with a set of second grade Common Core based math practice sheets. Learners fill in hundreds charts with missing numbers up to 1,000. They practice writing numbers in standard, expanded, and word form. Children also...

Send your scholars on a measuring scavenger hunt with this interactive worksheet! They use a graphic organizer to record their findings as they search for items which are less than, more than, or just about one inch long. For each, they...

Expand the the comparative language of young mathematicians with a hand-on weight measurement activity. Working independently or in pairs, children compare the weight of large wooden blocks to various other classroom objects, recording...

Through a station rotation activity, scientists complete 9 chemistry activities to complete this interactive learning exercise. Concepts include molar masses, percent composition, accuracy vs. precision, mass of an object, scientific...

When should you use less, and when should you use fewer? Straighten out this dilemma with a helpful resource about using less vs. fewer based on sentence context clues. After reading detailed instructions and examples, young learners...

What is the difference between accuracy and precision? This learning exercise has learners define the terms accuracy and precision, and compare bulleye diagrams to find examples of both. Students analyze given data and determine the...

Upper graders experiment with measurement. They estimate the length, volume, and weight of various objects, then rotate through stations making predictions concerning measurements and then testing their predictions.

Assess how long the class pet snake grew and how long it was when it started growing with a short worksheet. Learners use addition and subtraction strategies with measurements to answer three questions.

Does it feel a little humid in here? Learners assume the role of water vapor in the atmosphere as they explore the differences between warm and cold air. They roll dice to determine their level of energy, which determines if they...

Did you know many insects use cohesion or surface tension to walk on water? Using a presentation, scholars learn the more important properties of water. It extends into the concepts of solutions, suspensions, pH, and more.

In this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders identify which items pictured weighs more or less than a pound. Then they circle the objects that weigh more and place an X on the object that weigh less than a pound.

Students participate in a measuring scavenger hunt. Students choose items around the room to estimate and measure. Students try measuring with their hands and compare with other students who did the same. Students discuss why their...

Track how much paper their class uses in a week. They will pile their used paper into one place, each day the pile is measured. They make predictions about how much paper they would collect in a month, then recycle the paper.

In this measurement worksheet, high schoolers read about accuracy of measurements as compared to the precision of measurements. Students answer four precision problems and solve four accuracy problems.

Second graders will track the weather patterns throughout the school year. This project spans the school year and takes five minutes per day or less. Measuring, data collection, and predictions are all explored throughout this relevant...

Students compare and contrast objects according to their length. In groups, they travel to different centers in their classroom to participate in different sorting activities. They are introduced to how to use a ruler and reading the...

Primary learners participate in activities that help them explain how different things are measured. They create their own access number chart.

Some consider physics the branch of science concerned with using long and complicated formulas to describe how a ball rolls. This presentation, while long, is not complicated, yet it covers rolling, falling, and more. It compares vectors...

Students order their classmates from smallest to largest foot length.  In this ordering their classmates from smallest to largest foot length lesson, students trace each of their classmates foot.  Students read a story called,...

Learners explore the porosity of soil. In this soil lesson, students conduct an experiment which shows the porosity of different types of soil. They use sand, silt, and clay to see how soil particles are more or less aerated and thus...
