Get things moving with this elementary science unit on simple machines. Through a series of nine lessons including teacher demonstrations, hands-on activities, and science experiments, young scientists learn about forces, motion,...

Students study the concepts of motion, velocity, and acceleration through graphing their own movement using LoggerPro. They explain the difference between speed and velocity using the weather vane example. They discover the difference...

Two students are blindfolded and each receives a cardboard square, one with pompoms glued around the edge and one with pompoms glued all over the surface. They identify what they feel. The class discusses perimeter and area of polygons....

Young scholars review estimation, measurement, fractions, decimals while familiarizing themselves with a new classroom at the beginning of the year.

Students investigate Nanotechnology. In this physic's lesson, students evaluate a hands-on model made from chocolate syrup and pretzels to determine the advantages of size.  Students weigh chocolate syrup to determine it's wait...

How are skyscrapers built? What does it take to make a structurally sound building? How can one work within a budget to complete a building project? These guiding questions will be investigated and answered within a hands-on...

Students investigate how friction affects the movement of a block across surface areas. They test five different kinds of surfaces—smooth surface, wax paper, a paper towel, course, and fine sandpaper. They predict and record the results...

In this chemistry worksheet, students solve 47 problems involving measurement conversions from one unit to another. They explain how values should be reported from measurements.

The resource assesses students on British and metric conversions. There are tutorials on metric units, length, mass, volume, English units, symbols, and temperature. There is also an introduction and an interactive activity to test the...

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

This resource explains the structure of the metric system of measurement; the basic units of measurement for length, volume, and mass; and provides charts for each type of measurement. A chart of customary US units is also given.

This metric system tutorial is compared to the U.S. standard system so that students can comprehend the measurement of length, volume, mass and the like.

Test your knowledge at metric conversion by answering 30 questions on distance, length, volume, and weight.

Find out all about measurement in this test prep lesson exploring English and metric measurement. Students can compare metric and customary measurements using the conversion charts, assess how much they have learned using the interactive...

Students will complete interactive activities to explore measurement of length, volume, capacity, time, and averages.

A huge collection of teacher resources to aide in the teaching of all types of metric measurement: length, distance, mass, weight, capacity, and volume. Activities include measuring, estimating, converting, investigating, and finding...

Students rotate from station to station completing activities involving measurement weight, length, and volume using metric measurement.

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.

Very complete chart of conversion factors for English to SI (metric) unit measurements and SI (metric) to English unit measurements. Includes length, area, volume, mass, temperature, illumination, and force & mass (stress).

Convert metric measurements to U.S. Measurements and the reverse, too. Easy to follow tables have sections for area, length, mass,temperature and volume.

On this interactive site students learn to estimate lengths and distances using kilometers, explain the difference between perimeter and area, and measure the volume of a 3D object by counting the cubic centimeters.

A complete tutorial that explains time, metric system, mass, length, volume, and temperature. Interactive practices and challenge games are included.
