Discover the difference between standard and non-standard units of measure with your class. They differentiate between rectangles and squares, read a book, measure a peer's height. They then discuss  measurement methods, make...

Three main factors determine the wave height experienced in the ocean. Scholars use a virtual simulator to alter wind speed, fetch, and duration. Each combination creates a unique wave measured in significant height.

Learners simulate analyzing artifacts in archaeological lab by using real techniques that archaeologists use. Students practice measuring skills, drawing, writing, and brainstorming, and make inferences based on evidence.

In this voltage worksheet, students answer ten questions about RMS amplitude, DC power sources, AC alternators and the measurements used for voltage in power lines.

Students are asked what activities or things that they do each day. They are then asked do you do that in the morning, afternoon, or night? Students are then asked which of those things do you do first, second, third, and etc.

Here's an algebra II activity that strives to make the concept of a radian less abstract and more conceptual. It takes a hands-on approach to exploring the idea of a radian and allows individuals to develop a definition of a...

Ninth graders 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....

Students explore how water shortage affects everyday life. For this social justice lesson, students discuss information about water shortage in Ghana. A water shortage simulation/game is played in which a "Canadian" team starts with a...

Getting the right measurements can save a lot of time and money in the real world. Learners are introduced to unit conversion and how to accurately go from one unit to another. The first pages are notes and then the packet finishes with...

Here are 22 problems on 4 pages intended to provide practice in calculating mass. Learners determine the differences in weight, fractional equivalents of given quantities, and determine which item is heaviest or lightest. The problems...

Rainy day schedule doesn't mean you can't stay fit! Use a collection of indoor physical activities during periods of inclement weather, substitute teaching days, or for those afternoons when your class just wants to move around!

In this transpiration worksheet, students will conduct an experiment to measure the rate of transpiration from a plant by measuring how much weight the plant loses over 5 days. Students will record their data and create a graph of the...

Students use a glass container, coat hanger, measuring spoons, and more to make their own rain gauge. In this rain gauge lesson plan students measure the rain.

Students review the procedure for determining appropriate types of measurements for given situations and measurement conversions. They figure perimeter, area, and volume of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.

Whatever floats your boat. Young engineers learn about density by measuring the masses and volumes of boxes filled with different materials. Using their knowledge of densities, they hypothesize whether objects with given densities will...

Drinking straws are a pretty simple device ... or, are they? Explore the possibility of sipping a beverage 30 feet away with an engaging activity that's sure to keep pupils guessing. Just place a long piece of plastic tubing in a glass,...

A 33-page packet focuses on fifth-grade math concepts. Learners practice rounding numbers to the hundred thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, ones, hundredths, thousandths, and hundred thousandths. They also compare whole...

In this river pollution worksheet, students measure the quality of water and label the animals in the water as more or less sensitive to the pollution. Students complete 14 questions.

Learners measure water and make predictions about efficiency.

Students explore how ice cream is made in a factory and at home. They help make ice cream in the classroom. They measure out the ingredients. Students share the ice cream when it is done.

Students complete measurement activities to define a specific length in meters. In this measurement lesson, students give a description of a path that would be 800  meters long, measure the actual path, and describe its beginning...

Which option involves running less? Given a situation in which players can either run around the school soccer field 20 times or run back and forth along the diagonal 20 times, learners decide which option would be better. They consider...

Young scholars examine how trees are measured and the different methods used.  In this density lesson students divide into groups and practice the different methods.

Students differentiate between a meteor and meteorite. They participate in an experiment to discover how the size and weight of an object determines the size of the impact crater. They utilize their math skills by measuring with a ruler...
