Students use chips to represent units to show examples and non examples of fractions. In this fraction lesson plan, students show what chips can be used for different fraction scenarios.

In this friction experiment worksheet, learners follow the procedures to set up an experiment, collect data and write a conclusion about the effect of friction and weight.

First graders use nonstandard measurement to measure. After reading Inch by Inch, 1st graders pair measure leaves that they have collected. They glue their leaves onto tag board to make a display.

Fourth graders measure the perimeters of several different rooms. They convert the measurements using ratios that allow them to draw the rooms to scale on paper. They draw the dimensions of a house to scale. They measure length to the...

Sixth graders take a turn throwing the basketball and softball. They measure the distance in feet and inches between the starting and landing points of the balls. The recorder will record the distance each ball was thrown next to each...

Sixth graders explore the relationship between area and perimeter of rectangles. In this area and perimeter lesson plan, 6th graders measure and determine perimeter and area of various rectangles. Students create rectangles with given...

Fourth graders estimate the measurements of trees using unconventional techniques.

Fifth graders, after being given a variety of word problems to solve, find patterns to solving 3 out of 4 times. They break it down into smaller parts 3 out of 4 times and tell the method of solving 3 out of 4 times. Students complete...

Students apply measurement techniques to create a flying object. They measure, draw, and cut out a flying wheel out of a six inch card.

Students measure the angles of a milk carton. They identify and label acute, right, and obtuse angles. Using appropriate tools, students determine the volume of a cube or a rectangular prism. Students complete worksheets to...

Studens experiment with temperatures. For this science lesson, learners make their own weather station by heating one bottle and keeping the water in another bottle at room temperature.

Learners in cooking class prepare and cook brownies, making a substitution with one or more of the ingredients as instructed. They compare their results in regard to appearance, flavor and texture. They develop an understanding of...

Pupils draw a ship to scale, and calculate the real life size. They show that measurements on the drawingsare annotated with the distances reported in inches (fractions and decimals), and their real-world equivalents

Students examine the characteristics of the desert environment. They experiment with a container which they fill with sand and measure the amount of water that can be absorbed in the container. They compare this with the conditions in...

Students measure distances and report them in fractions, convert fractions to decimals, and multiply decimals.

Students measure distances and report them in fractions. They convert fractions to decimals and multiply decimals.

Learners work in groups to make an instrument the Meteorologists use to measure the speed of the wind after the teacher reads them a poem about the wind. Students then review vocabulary that they studied from their lesson.

Students rotate through a variety of Olympic activities and record their results. Teams rotate through stations and practice units of measurement.

Students construct a barometer and collect data on the changes in air pressure. They work is small groups using plastic tubing, corks, and green food coloring. They then use a formula to convert inches of mercury to barometric pressure...

First graders use literature and hands-on activities with maps and globes to explain distance and tools used to measure distance. They select tools to measure various objects in the classroom, then apply those concepts to their map...

Students participate in an experiment in which they test the growing rate of algae. They test the algae in different elements recording their observations. They share their results with the class and discuss.

Learners perform the following activity as a group so that they can gain experience with how ramps work. Students will first construct a simple ramp and then time how fast different objects roll down that ramp.

Learners observe, measure and record variations that may be due to genetic inheritance. They look at the length of seeds for germinating pinto and lima beans and measure the distance between eyes in humans. They graph and discuss the...

Students make a model of the solar system. In this solar system lesson plan, students make paper mache models of the planets to hand in the classroom, measure the distance to each planet scaled with footsteps, and model the moon's...
