Students will use their knowledge of measurable attributes (length, weight, capacity) to compare two or more objects using one measurable trait or more than two measurable traits to compare if the objects have more, less, or equal...

Learners will use a block to compare with other objects to decide which is heavier/lighter. They will fill in a chart by drawing a picture of it under "Heavier" or "Lighter" depending which applies.

Activity allows students to think about what makes one object more or less dense than another.

Students use a spring scale to drag an object such as a ceramic coffee cup along a table top or the floor. The spring scale allows them to measure the frictional force that exists between the moving cup and the surface it slides on. By...

In the first of two lessons of this curricular unit, students are introduced to the concept of friction as a force that impedes motion when two surfaces are in contact. Student teams use spring scales to drag objects, such as a ceramic...
