Scholars explore triangles with rods of different lengths. Using rods of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 cm class members build as many different types of triangles as they can. They also describe properties of these triangles and determine...

Compare heating and cooling rates of different land forms. A lab activity has groups collect data on the rate of heating and cooling of soil, grass, saltwater, fresh water, and sand. An analysis of the rates shows how the different land...

Ron Toomer, a famous roller coaster designer, suffered from motion sickness. Pupils design their own roller coasters, learning about potential and kinetic energy in the process. Labs focus on the importance of drop height, energy...

Weathering is not necessarily a result of the weather. Scholars conduct an experiment to explore the effect of surface area and volume on the weathering process. They create their own sugar cube rocks using the same number of cubes—but...

Construct a three-dimensional optical illusion when your class is exploring vision and how the eye and brain work together. Three concave corners are mounted inside of a black box, but as a light is shined upon them, they appear to be...

Assist your class with correctly calculating the values for force, work, and power as they determine the amount various activities require. They gather data and participate in a group discussion to compare results upon conclusion of the...

Students explore the concept of boomerangs. In this boomerang instructional activity, students throw homemade boomerangs at different angles to record maximum distance and if it returned or not. Students collect their boomerang data then...

This seventh grade life science quiz has a professional appearance and well-written multiple-choice questions. However, it seems to cover too broad a variety of biology topics for only 15 questions to fully assess. There is one question...

Students know the six simple machines and explain what they do and how they have changed the lives of humans.

In this inches learning exercise, students measure the lines in the problems with the inches rulers given. Students complete 8 problems total.

Students use a variety of measuring devices including a ruler, yardstick, and tape measure to accurately measure objects in inches, feet, and yards. They report on these measurements, both orally and in writing.

Young scholars line themselves up from smallest to tallest at the chalkboard with the teacher marking their heights. After recording their names on the board next to their mark, they work with a partner to measure their height using...

Third graders use a ruler that has a bag tie slider attached to it to measure a number of items. While measuring, they complete a "Sliding Along" worksheet and a "Sliding Synthesis Journal." In the journal entry, they include what they...

First graders are introduced to how to use a ruler and its purpose. Using a boomerang, they estimate its length and then measure it using a string and ruler. In groups, they practice the same exercise with various objects while...

In these measurement worksheets, students measure objects in their classroom but don't use a ruler to measure. Students write what they measured and the length of the object. Students then measure the given objects in the classroom and...

Fourth graders investigate measurement of linear and curved surfaces. In this math lesson, 4th graders discuss how to measure curved surfaces and work with a partner to measure various curved surfaces.

Students properly leap and measure their distance. In this leaping lesson, students practice leaping for accuracy and proper form. Students estimate their leaps and measure with rulers. Students determine distance covered by the entire...

Students practice measurement using real world objects. In this scavenger hunt for lengths lesson plan, students collaborate to measure with rulers, yardsticks, trundle wheels, and tape measures.  Students must estimate the length...

Fourth graders complete mathematical word problems. They study the relationships among distance, speed, and time; and measure travel distances. They measure distances using a piece of string and a ruler and practice converting several...

Students plan and build a ramp designed for maximum distance a car can travel. In this physics and data collection math lesson, students work in groups to design a ramp using various household materials. Students test small cars on their...

Young scholars investigate moles and measure out a mole by mass and volume. In this mole lesson plan, students observe demonstrations of quantities of substances that measure 1 mole. Young scholars use a solid aluminum block and ruler to...

Students participate in experiments at five stations to practice measurement. In this measuring lesson, students are presented different produce and objects and must measure with an appropriate tool. Students use metric and customary...

Students explore the concept of area and perimeter. In this area and perimeter lesson, students construct miniature houses. Students determine the area and perimeter of their model in order to buy glue, carpet, and wall paper.

In this math worksheet, learners will work with a coach to find the total area of a tree-house. Students will follow a step-by-step process and notes are provided for the coach.
