Demonstrate the particle theory of matter to high school scientists with an engaging experiment that allows them to visually see the results as substances change from one state to another. The class concludes with a discussion about how...

Students design a simple boat and predict how much weight it can carry. They should also discover why objects float or sink and how this can be determined experimentally. A great lesson on buoyancy!

Students explore the three states of matter. For this physics lesson, students are shown examples of solids, liquids, and gases. Students make cookies and identify the three states of matter during the baking process.

Third graders explore the difference between a physical change in a substance and a chemical change. students study the volume, density, altering shape and chemistry of a copper penny.

Students review the units of the metric system, convert from the US system of units of measure to the metric system, and estimate measures before converting between the two systems of measurement.

Students participate in experiments at five stations to practice measurement. In this measuring lesson, students are presented different produce and objects and must measure with an appropriate tool. Students use metric and customary...

Sixth graders identify benchmark angles as they are embedded into a circle grid. They observe the teacher using an angle ruler and complete a Star Spangled worksheet, play the game Tomb Robbers, and as a class discuss their game winning...

Second graders participate in a series of hands-on, online and multimedia activities that examine the concept of area. They view clips from the animated series Math Monsters and discuss the purpose of area and how it is used in the real...

First graders identify, interpret, and gain proficiency in using a clock to tell time to the hour and determine how many minutes are in an hour. They identify and list what they do as they travel through their dayand how much time you...

Second graders explore how to incorporate a new type of technology, the cash register and/or a calculator, as a motivational tool for solving real life problems. They practice estimating money and counting back change from $20.00.

Seventh graders identify and label twenty-five bones of the skeletal system. In small groups they glue various types of dried pasta to a large human body outline. They attach the pasta to the outline and label the pasta bones.

Fourth graders expand their knowledge about how the physical properties of a substances can be changed. They are given multiple opportunities, using first-hand experiences and familiar objects in different contexts, to identify...

Students calculate the densities of several liquids that appear similar.  In this physical science lesson, students go beyond understanding the way liquids of different densities behave to researching how this knowledge applies in...

Learners conduct their personal investigations into paper airplane flight. Cooperative teams are formed, with students choosing the paper airplane design that they are most interested in building.

For this redox reaction worksheet, high schoolers perform a redox titration to determine the number of iodide ions that react with each mole of iodate (V) ions in a solution. They calculate their answer using a given equation.

In this activity, students' will use a force sensor to measure the weight of a water filled funnel as it drains. They analyze the weight versus time data and describe it using concepts of slope and intercepts of a linear function.

Measuring fun is here! In this week's adventure, children will explore volume, capacity, and weight and learn new math vocabulary words as they practice measurement with real and virtual measuring tools. Each section of this weeklong...

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

This interactive game has students apply skills in estimation, measurement, and basic addition using pearls. Students are asked to estimate the number of pearls in a treasure chest by making predictions and using number sense. The skills...

Find out all about measurement in this test prep lesson exploring English and metric measurement. Students can compare metric and customary measurements using the conversion charts, assess how much they have learned using the interactive...

The Center for Mathematics and Science Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provides an interesting and easy-to-use dictionary of the history and meaning of many measurement terms. Metric, International, and...

Explore the "intelligent floor," which contains sensors that can track movements, and emulate the weighing technique associated with this technology. Explore the relationship between volume and mass and the difference between accuracy...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this online tutorial students will begin to identify the seven base units of the International System of Units. They will understand the commonly used metric...
