Activity #6 'Nothing' Matters: A Demonstration
Learners observe the 'pouring' of a gas. They compare the masses (weights) and densities of two gases. Pupils define the following terms: matter, mass, and density. Students answer questions after watching the demonstration.
Curated OER
Learning Lesson: A Pressing Engagement
Pupils complete experiments in which they discover the effect of the weight of the air above them. They use different weights of paper to complete the experiment. They also examine thunderstorm safety.
Curated OER
Wig-wag Physics
Learners make observations on the effects of a small, medium and large weight on the movement of a wig-wag apparatus. They use their observations to develop a generalized inference of the effect weight on movement patterns.

Honing in on Hummingbirds
Students explore ruby-throated hummingbirds. In this cross-curricular hummingbirds lesson, students listen to the book The Mystery of the Missing Hummingbirds and choose related topics to research with a partner. Students draw or...
Curated OER
Physics and Me
Sixth graders compare and contrast mass and weight. In this physics lesson plan, 6th graders calculate speed given distance and time information. They construct a rocket and relate this to Newton's 3rd Law of motion.
Curated OER
Box-and-Whisker Plots
Eighth graders measure in feet and inches and convert to explore the relationship between the converted measurements. In this measurement lesson, 8th graders use the whisker and box plot to represent the measurement of a cat. ...

Estimation Challenge
Students calculate the length of the classroom using non-standard units of measurement and estimation. Using a cracker box, they discuss measuring various objects in the room as a class, and independently estimate and measure the length...
Curated OER
Geometry and Spatial Sense
Learners investigate geometric shapes in 2 and 3 dimensions. In this geometry instructional activity, students create a model chocolate factory working in groups and using an actual cake. Learners take a quiz about...
Curated OER
Look At Those Leaves!
Students observe and sort tree leaves. In this earth science lesson, students observe the attributes of real leaves and measure leaves using Unifix cubes.
Curated OER
Measurement
First graders listen to a read aloud of Linda Williams, The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything" before discussing Halloween. They measure pumpkins using chains of paper clips to find their length and width. Once they open the...
Curated OER
Shake, Rattle and Erode
Students measure how much mass is worn away during 15-20 minutes of shaking. They shake rocks for 15-20 minutes to simulate stream erosion. Students listen to music as they shake their rocks. They weigh out 100 grams of marble chips....
Curated OER
GUM: More, Less, or the Same?
Students confirm the law of conservation of matter by weighing chewing gum before and after it is chewed.
