Fifth graders explore measurement. In this measurement instructional activity, 5th graders review fractions, simplifying and using rulers to practice measuring by inches and centimeters. Students are shown how to...

A variety of units of measurement are taught in this math activity. First, students measure objects using their hands. Then, they use a ruler to gain more precise measurements in meters and centimeters. Nice activity!

We use basic units of measurement to break down things and communicate clearly. The first lesson in an 11-part series teaches the proper way to measure various items. It starts simply with measuring the dimensions and areas of geometric...

Students work with measurements of length, area, and volume capacity of a liquid. They watch a teacher demonstration of both English and metric units before they estimate and take actual measurements of assigned items a three different...

The student will calculate the vital capacity of the air in the lungs and trace the pathway of air into and out of the lungs. They describe the pressure changes that occur within the chest cavity when you breathe. They compare air that...

Fourth graders explore measuring with English unit rulers. They practice measuring in fractions of inches. Students discuss how to place the ruler when measuring an object. They begin measuring using rulers with 1/4 inch increments and...

Students explore geometry by participating in a measurement activity. In this human anatomy lesson, students identify the appropriate methods to measure human body parts and do so in class. Students create a bar graph from their class...

Use this fun activity with youngsters learning how to use rules for measurement. Each is provided with six steps that direct them to draw specific things with specific heights or lengths. For example, they start by drawing a tree that is...

Two activities explore the concept of size, especially small sizes down to the nano. Scholars practice determining volume, mass, and density and calculate exponential increases and decreases. They then predict and test the effect of size...

Beginning geometers use tiles and grid paper to draw and calculate perimeter and area. Rectangles of different sizes are created and then measured to build understanding. The one-inch grid sheet referenced is attached. 

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

Students use the wrapper of a Hershey's Kiss to practice estimating, predicting and measuring. They measure with centimeter rulers.

In this measuring length worksheet, 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 science instructional activity, students draw several markings on a ruler or graduated cylinder or thermometer to get each of the correct measurements. Then they state what place the marking indicates and the number of...

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 using centimeters to measure the perimeter of triangles worksheet, 2nd graders measure 6 triangles with a centimeter ruler and write the equation used to find the perimeter.

Teams learn about the size of a nanometer by measuring objects and converting those measurements. A worksheet then tests the groups' abilities to use nanometers by having them determine the size of objects that are too small to...

For this measurement worksheet, 3rd graders answer 4 questions in which they measure lines in centimeters to find which one is the longest. 

In this measurement learning exercise, students use a tape measure or a ruler to measure items in the classroom to find those that are greater than 100 cm and less than 100 cm. 

Second graders review measurements in inches and practice measuring different objects. As a class, they estimate various objects in their classroom and compare their estimation to the actual measurement. To end the lesson, they complete...

In this measurement worksheet, 4th graders measure the amount of rainfall that is shown in each of 5 cylindrical containers using either inches or centimeters. They color the rainfall amount blue.

Young scholars explore the relationship between their skeletal and muscular systems, resulting in ability to name and compare types of joints and ability to demonstrate how muscles move bones.

Third graders explore and identify the tools that can be used to measure length, mass/weight, and volume. They discuss how things are measured using different units, and observe the difference between the English and the Metric systems....

Pupils practice estimation skills for measurement, and work with metric units of measurement.
