Students take an imaginary hike in two opposite directions along a lake. They view and interpret satellite images and discuss the pros and cons of hydroelectric dams.

In this ruler worksheet, 6th graders identify and complete 10 different problems that include reading various lengths of a ruler illustrated. First, they read each ruler shown on the sheet. Then, students write the length of the red line...

In this measuring length activity, students learn to use a rule to measure distances. Students measure the lines to the nearest centimeter. Students finish by drawing lines using a ruler and the given measurements.

In this parts of similar triangles worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 15 different statements related to naming the parts found in similar triangles. First, they identify each definition stated that describes an everyday usage of...

In this physics worksheet, students construct a parachute using the materials listed on the sheet that will have the longest and closest target when dropped from a specific height. Then they record their results after three trials.

Students work together to build models of prairie plants. Using the model, they estimate the height and then measure them using metric and standard units. They write a fraction to represent their part of the whole set and compare and...

Students predict the measurement of objects. In this measurement lesson, students estimate the measurements of objects in a lab. Students measure irregular objects and generate scientific observations.

Students use GIS to calculate park impervious cover in Austin, TX. They consider that there are different types of impervious cover from hard, packed dirt to cement paving. Students consider the limitations of data in several areas...

Students are able to read and also use a variety of timetables and charts. They perform calculations with time, including 24-hour clock times and time zones. These are very important concepts that Students probably have to bear in mind...

In this backyard map centimeter measurement worksheet, 1st graders cut out a centimeter ruler from the bottom of the page. They use the ruler to measure the path between objects which are pictures in the backyard map at the top of the...

In this ESL vocabulary learning exercise, students cross out the measurement words in the diagram by following the 10 directions. Students read the leftover words that creates a proverb.

Sixth graders graph acceleration and practice using the metric system. In this physics lesson, 6th graders take turns timing each other as they walk 15 meters. Students then chart and graph their data using the metric system.

Fifth graders study the metric and customary systems of measuring length with rulers, meter / yardsticks, and tape measures. They determine area of polygons and surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes. They list as many...

Students examine the impact of sea level on land formations. In this geography and map lesson, students construct a contour map model illustrating how much of the clay "coastline" is covered as water is added. Metric measurement is...

In this Moon travel worksheet, students construct a simple rocket trajectory called the Hohmann Transfer orbit using a compass, string, paper and a pencil. Students solve 2 problems which include finding the number of hours it takes to...

Young scholars explore slope.  For this middle school mathematics lesson, students analyze and interpret graphs as they investigate slope as a rate of change.  Young scholars use a motion detector to collect data as they walk...

Ninth graders examine the rate of motion and changes in motion using a ramp and a rolling object. They conduct the demonstration, determine the average speed, and describe how a moving object can have zero acceleration and deceleration.

Students understand that temperatures in Alaska can be negative numbers. In this temperature lesson, students recognize the temperatures above and below zero. Students compare temperatures using the greater than and less than signs....

In this electrical worksheet, learners answer a series of  7 open-ended questions. Students explain the use of terms used in circuit board layout and manufacturing in order to answer the questions. This worksheet is printable and...

Fifth graders generate two types of corn seeds, Dent corn and Indian corn to compare the similarities and differences of each of the seedlings. The preferred seedlings are determined through observations made by Students.

In this measuring length worksheet, learners use centimeter cubes to measure the length for each illustrated picture. Students write the number of centimeters for each picture and add the centimeters for both items. Learners write the...

For this measurement worksheet, students explore methods to measure the thickness of foil. They write an essay on how they calculated the thickness of the foil, and the number of atoms thick it is. Students create labeled sketches to...

How can you determine the height of a drop off a cliff if you have nothing to measure it with? A movie clip sets up a sky-high challenge and solves it with a falling glow stick. Scholars must take the given information and decide how...

Students collect data on a robot and relate the behavior to prove there is an infinite minute set of numbers. In this algebra lesson, students verify that there is always a number between two numbers. They analyze and make inference...
