This resource explains the structure of the metric system of measurement; the basic units of measurement for length, volume, and mass; and provides charts for each type of measurement. A chart of customary US units is also given.

Unit reasoning helps us make sense of measurements by converting between measurement units and making reasonable estimates. For the Praxis test, we need to know common measurement units for length, time, volume, and mass, as well as how...

What is a prism? Find a good definition and several example images, as well as formulas for finding the volume and surface area of a prism given measurements of its base and height.

About how many cells are in the human body? The purpose of this task is for learners to apply the concepts of mass, volume, and density in a real-world context. Aligns with G-MG.A.2.

This hands-on, inquiry based lesson is an extension of the AMSTI Science Module, Solids and Liquids. Young scholars use nonstandard units to measure beans in a soup mix. Students predict how many beans will be in a scoop. Young scholars...

Students learn how to measure the volume and mass of an object and use that to compute density. They will then use that density to talk about experimental errors and accuracy of measurements.

In this activity, students learn about their heart rate and different ways it can be measured. Students construct a simple measurement device using clay and a toothpick, and then use this device to measure their heart rate under...

In this activity, students' will use a heart rate monitor to measure their heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) while they exercise. They will understand the effect of exercise on heart rate and learn how to measure differences in heart...

Quiz your knowledge of three-dimensional figures, specifically volume and surface area, with this sixteen-question practice exercise.

A seven-question quiz will help you practice answering questions dealing with the volume and area of solids.

Practice converting a metric measure of volume to a smaller unit. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Practice converting a US customary measure of volume to a smaller unit. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Assess height, weight, and volume using metric measurements. This interactive exercise touches on place value and focuses on the prefixes associated with metric measurement.

In this activity, students can use a Heart Rate Monitor to measure their heart rate while sitting, lying down, and standing. They will analyze the data collected to determine the effect of body position on heart rate.

This hands-on experiment shows you how to make your spirometer, a device you can use to measure how much air your lungs can hold.

In this activity, learners compare ways to measure their heart rates. They will build their own stethoscopes and learn how exercise affects heart rate.

How much water do you use everyday? Find out in this engaging investigation, where you compare your water usage with your classmates and other people around the world. An exploration filled with lots of math and science that students are...

What is a pyramid? Find a definition, example images, and formulas for finding the volume and surface area of a pyramid if given base and height measurements. Includes a very brief look at a pyramid in Egypt and its measurements.

This lesson will introduce students to measuring weight, mass, volume, and capacity using metric and cutomary units. This lesson plan was created by exemplary Alabama Math Teachers through the AMSTI project.

Use this converter to find equivalent units for a measure. You can convert measures for area, length, weight, temperature, and volume.

It's difficult at times for younger students to realize that air has mass. Matter is something that has volume (takes up space) and has mass (*can be weighed). Air does take up space, even if we can't see it, and air has weight, even if...

In this task, 8th graders are presented with a drawing of three glasses of different shapes and their measurements. They are asked to make several calculations that require the application of the Pythagorean Theorem and volume formulas....

Practice US customary length, volume, and mass problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly,...

In Spanish. This interactive unit examines how to measure in space. The basic tools are the scalar and vectors.
