In this reading worksheet, students write out the full name of units of weight and measurement. Twelve different measurements and weights are listed with the abbreviation for each unit.

In this math and language arts worksheet, students practice writing metric and standard weights and measures in word form. Students read 12 measurements and write them out in full using words. Example: 30 cm (30 centimeters).

In this online math worksheet, students practice multiplying a variety of metric weight measurements. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific...

Students discuss how weight is directly related to gravitational force on a planet. Students then choose Space Traveler as companion and compute how much their guide weighs on various planets, based on each planet's relative surface...

Students work with measurements of length, area, and volume capacity of a liquid. They watch a teacher demonstration of both English and metric units before they estimate and take actual measurements of assigned items a three different...

Students investigate measurement. In this library lesson plan, students discuss measurement, read Millions to Measure by David Schwartz, and complete a worksheet. Extra related activities are included in the lesson plan that appeals to...

Student identify the three stationary positions, on the Earth, on the Moon, and in a house floating atop the cloud layers of Jupiter. They also identify the three orbiting positions, orbiting the Earth, orbiting the Moon, and orbiting...

Fourth graders participate in an activity measuring length, weight and capacity. They incorporate physical movements to help them explore measurement.

In this weight measurements activity, students identify each picture and then estimate how much the object weighs. Students circle the answer in ounces and pounds that gives the best estimate for the 9 problems.

Students explore the concept of weight and mass and the importance of units. Using a balance, they determine the weight of various objects in the unit of "pebbles" and in grams.

In this weight worksheet, students solve 6 equations using weight and 5 similar word problems. Problems use addition and subtraction.

Students examine a variety of gold weights used by the Asante in West Africa. In groups, they discuss the purpose of the gold weights and practice saying proverbs associated with different pieces of art. To end the lesson, they...

In this estimate weight worksheet, students study the illustrated image and estimate how much the object weighs. Students circle the best estimate for the 9 problems.

In this gravity worksheet, students will compare the difference between mass and weight and the unit of measurement used for weight and mass. Then students will compare the weight of objects on the Earth and on other planets. This...

Students discuss situations when it is useful to know exact weight of object as opposed to estimated weight, estimate weight of various items, weigh them on scale using ounces and pounds, and compare their weights on Guess Your Best...

Students explore physical science by conducting a measurement experiment. In this mass lesson, students identify the differences between mass and weight and define a list of other vocabulary terms. Students utilize electronic scales and...

In this standard weights worksheet, students analyze 9 common objects and choose the most appropriate unit to weigh them-ounces or pounds.

Fifth graders conduct various measurement activities on themselves and a partner. They measure their height, weight, thumb-to-pinky span, and body temperature, recording the information in the form of an Excel spreadsheet.

Learners estimate and determine the number of cents (pennies) that are needed to equal the mass of a variety of common objects. They develop a process for measuring and explore concepts related to units of measurement.

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...
