Not only do future engineers learn the difference between accuracy and precision, they also get some hands-on experience using different measuring tools. 

Turn your algebra learners into meteorologists. Students are given three graphs that contain information about the weather in Santa Rosa, California during the month of February, 2012. Graph one shows temperatures, graph two displays the...

Let's heat things up! This simple experiment demonstrates for young scholars the important role the sun plays in providing the earth with energy. Place one cup of water in direct sunlight and one in shade, then take measurements in order...

Your Algebra learners analyze and solve an exponential equation in this popular, real-life model of the cooling of a liquid.  

Tired of waiting for hot water? Groups of three determine the efficiency of an electric water-heating device. They calculate the amount of energy it takes to heat the water and the theoretical amount of energy required to heat the water....

In this Drake Equation learning exercise, students read about how scientists can estimate the number of intelligent civilizations that may exist in our galaxy. Students answer 7 questions about the Drake Equation and they use the...

Careful, that light bulb is hot! Compare heat and light energy using a simple light bulb. The exercise addresses energy conservation and presents actual calculations to determine the most cost-effective light bulb.

It's the law—every action requires a reaction, no matter how small. Pupils experience two demonstrations of Newton's third law of motion as it relates to thrust in the 10th segment of a 22-part unit on flight. Using their mathematical...

This teaching site has interactive exercises using different types of measurement. You will measure length, capacity, area, perimeter, time, weight, temperature, and speed.

Learn about the two main temperature scales, Celsius and Fahrenheit, and how to convert temperature from one to another. View two conversion examples and a chart of typical temperatures, and use the conversion tool.

Scroll partway down the page to find this lesson on decimals which incorporates the use of thermometers at an activity centre.

Students learn how to measure things using US Standard Units. Liquids, mass, length, and temperature are explored. Practice problems are included.

Assess your aptitude for math facts with this interactive true or false questionnaire. Questions cover a variety of math concepts and topics that should be familiar to most young mathematicians. Answers can be checked immediately.

Metric units for volume, mass, length and temperature are explained to a cute little alien called Maggie. There are lots of real life examples for comparison that younger children will understand.

Using a variety of science topics, these projects link your class with classes around the world in data collection and analysis. There are projects recommended for all grade levels. Begin dates and end dates are listed to help in...
