[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Choose appropriate tools and metric units for given items and measurement situations.

Here are three activities--concentration, matching, and flashcards--to help learn or review the units of customary measurement.

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...

Metric Conversions offers online calculators for making conversions, downloadable tables in many types of metric conversion (pdf format), and free conversion tools to put onto your website or dynamic pages.

Assess height, weight, and volume using metric measurements. This interactive exercise touches on place value and focuses on the prefixes associated with metric measurement.

Compare weights and volumes using popped and unpopped popcorn.

This hands-on, inquiry based lesson is an extension of the AMSTI Science Module, Solids and Liquids. Young scholars use nonstandard units to measure beans in a soup mix. Students predict how many beans will be in a scoop. Young scholars...

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.

[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...

In this interactive lesson, learn what the "physical properties" of matter are and how can they be measured and observed.

Use this converter to find equivalent units for a measure. You can convert measures for area, length, weight, temperature, and volume.

In this task, students must estimate the number of leaves on a large tree, taking into account various complex factors such as the area shaded by the tree, the area of irregularly shaped leaves, the uneven distribution of leaves, the...

Conversion calculators galore! Convert just about anything from one measureable unit into another measureable unit here with over two dozen calculators. Each of the links is specific to a measureable quantity. Some examples include...

In this engaging instructional activity, students use a variety of measurement strategies in creating their own Sand Babies. Students explore standard and non-standard measurements, area, data collection and analysis, and graphing....

A metric measurement lesson plan using grams, milliliters, and centimeters. This instructional activity offers a variety of "hands on" measurement activities using both the customary and metric systems. Additionally, this lesson plan...

It's difficult at times for younger students to realize that air has mass. Matter is something that has volume (takes up space) and has mass (*can be weighed). Air does take up space, even if we can't see it, and air has weight, even if...
