Students explore mass, volume, and weight. In this science and measurement lesson, students compare volume, mass, and weight after listening to the teacher's description of each. Students explore different scales and balances and...

Students investigate the concepts of volume for rectangular prisms and spheres. They measure the volume of one balloon and then consider how many breaths it would take to fill the room with balloons. The rectangular prism being measured...

Examine measurable characteristics of objects to build an understanding of the different ways you can discuss an object's size when comparing it to other objects. After whole group instruction, the class compares and organizes several...

Explore the use of non-standard units for measuring volume with elementary learners. They fill a container and count the number used using cups, spoons, and bottles, build with blocks and count the number of blocks used, and compare and...

In this measurement worksheet, students make a measurement man to aid their understanding of the relationships between gallons, quarts, pints, and cups. They make the body of the man using one sheet of paper that represents one gallon...

Sixth graders determine how to find the volume of a box. For this volume lesson, 6th graders participate in a lesson in which the teacher uses the associated study guide to explain how to find the volume of a cubic figure. They use boxes...

In this identifying units of measure instructional activity, students estimate the volume of their bodies using the bath method and component method, estimate the density of their bodies and use a conversion sheet to convert metric...

High schoolers solve five problems including finding the cross sectional area of two bodies, determining the swept out volume of a moving body, finding the average particle volume of a body and determining the collision time for a body.

In this density of the human body worksheet, learners measure several parts of the body to calculate the body volume. Students convert the body volume to body mass and body density.

Linear measurement is the focus of this math lesson plan. Youngsters work in groups to build towers with blocks. They build towers represented on index cards and determine how many blocks taller one tower is.

Learners measure their body. For this measurement lesson, students use a string to measure their height and the circumference of their head. They record this information on the worksheet provided and answer questions as a group. 

Learners measure an assortment of items using metric measurements. In this measurement activity, students measure using length, mass, and volume units of measurement. They convert between units. Learners learn a mnemonic to assist in...

Groups of students rotate through five classroom stations to estimate, measure, and record volume, length, weight, mass, and area using both customary and metric measure. They evaluate their data to determine how close their estimates...

Students determine how to convert measurement. In this English Measurement lesson, students discover interesting facts about the history of measurement. Students study formulas and practice using them.

Students identify rectangular volume calculations, and calculate using formula, concrete table, and calculator.

Third graders use nonstandard concrete methods to estimate and record measurements of their body.

Students explore Boyle's Law. In this Boyle's Law lesson, students complete problems involving Boyle's Law. They examine the effects of Boyle's Law upon the human body. Students use the Internet to complete a lab activity.

Students explore the measurements of capacity by constructing a creative project in the shape of a man. The man has body parts that represent different units of measurement and can be used to make conversions. This is highly concrete and...

Educate your class about blood alcohol levels by combining health with math practice. Class members read a little bit about blood alcohol concentration and then solve some problems related to determining alcohol levels and alcohol...

Second graders examine human body movements by measuring the choreography of a dance.  In this physical education activity, 2nd graders participate in a creative dance which is based on specific movements of each limb, which...

Students map and calculate the area of the school parking lot and then the volume of water falling on the school parking lot. They map the route surface runoff will take to the nearest water body and describe the roles that human...

Learners explore math functions by preparing a meal. In this food measurement lesson, students examine a recipe for a meal and alter the size of the recipe based upon the amount of servings needed. Learners utilize manipulatives to...

Students compare, order, and measure objects. In this measurement lesson, students are assessed on their ability to order, compare, and measure objects. This is an assessment only lesson and does not include instruction.

In this math activity, students solve the differential equations. They also investigate Newton's Law of Cooling. Then they consider the temperature of different substances like coffee.
