Students calculate the weight of a motor vehicle using only a sheet of graph paper and a tire gauge. Extensions provided offer additional challenges.

Students practice using a different type of measurement each day. They complete data sheets to record their information. They practice estimating the weight of an object as well.

Students investigate metric measurement. In this geometry lesson plan, students discover metric measurements of everyday objects as they compare them to US measurements.

Young scholars experience why ice floats and the differences in weight of frozen water to liquid water. Students explore why ice floats. They use math skills such as: graphing, applying procedures, weighing and measuring. Young...

Eighth graders study weight, force and mass as it pertains to the earths pull.  In this weightlessness lesson students are divided into groups and complete an activity. 

Sixth graders explore the characteristics of gravity. They discuss gravity on Earth and then use cereal boxes to research and compare the weight of objects on Earth to the weight of those objects on other planets.

In this experiments worksheet, students determine the weight and mass of different objects. Students review variables in an experiment. This worksheet has 8 short answer questions and 11 problems to solve.

Learners explore the four forces of flight. They investigate the four forces of flight: lift, drag, thrust and weight (gravity). They experiment with flight-testing various objects commonly found around the house and constructing paper...

In this weight and volume mathematical learning exercise, learners calculate the volume and weight in sixteen metric units in litres and millilitres.

In this measurement worksheet, students complete a 12 question multiple choice online interactive assessment about standard modern and ancient measurement.

Sixth graders use the edible and nonedible parts of various fruits to determine percentages. Using measurements and appropriate tools are part of the lesson.

Third graders jump with and without weights to reveal data that gravity has more of a pulling force with heavy objects that are on the ground than light objects on the ground. They also identify how their legs felt when they jumped with...

Students identify the different types of friction. In this physics lesson, students explain how weight affects friction. They calculate normal force and coefficient of friction using a mathematical formula.

Pupils build a model of a suspension bridge and test the amount of weight it support. They identify different types of bridges: suspension, arch, girder, truss, cantilever, cable-stayed and moveable.

Pupils parcticipate in a modeling activity that simulates the cyclical role of experimental and theoretical science. Initially, students measure the mass of popcorn. They also record predictions of the mass of the kernels after they are...

Students explore a study of African women who are able to carry heavy loads by altering their gait; they then conduct experiments that study the relationship between exertion, weight and heart rate.

First graders read "How Long Is A Foot?" together and use paper clips, teddy bears, crayons and other non-standard units to measure items. They compare the items measured and order them from longest to shortest.

Students research the mechanics of flight and create a slideshow with one slide dedicated to each of these topics: lift, drag, thrust, and weight. They create a short quiz regarding the material that they presented and give it to their...

Fourth graders are introduced to how to take measurements in the metric system. After defining new vocabulary, they read a story by Mark Twain about jumping frogs. In groups, they simulate a frog jumping contest in which they made...

In this estimation of length worksheet, 7th graders complete 20 different problems that include the estimation of numbers. They determine the approximate weight of each illustration shown in the box. Then, students circle the correct...

In this metric conversion worksheet, learners solve 12 problems in which larger units are converted to smaller units. Included are conversions of weight, distance and capacity. There are no hints or examples.

Students explore geometry by using computer applications. In this spatial measurement lesson, students discuss the difference between area, weight, volume and other forms of measurement. Students utilize computer applications to find the...

Students explore averages by completing a data analysis activity. In this bell curve lesson, students measure different food items and plot their measurements on a X and Y axis. Students create bell curves around the average weight or...

In this portion size worksheet, students estimate the portion size, weight and amount of phe for 8 different foods before weighing each food in grams. Students answer 10 essay questions about nutrition and portion size. This worksheet is...
