Learners calculate the calories in a Brazil nut and the calories needed for daily intake. For this calories lesson plan, students use calorimetry to measure the change in water temperature heated by the burning of a Brazil nut. They also...

Learners estimate and determine the number of cents (pennies) that are needed to equal the mass of a variety of common objects. They develop a process for measuring and explore concepts related to units of measurement.

In this metric system worksheet, students complete a kilogram and gram table using the conversion table for help. Students then convert the given measurements and finish with several measurement conversion word problems.

Students make generalizations about weight and mass by engaging in two hands-on experiments. In this weight and mass lesson, students weigh both an empty beaker and beakers with various amounts of weight inside of them in order to find...

How does radiation affect our daily lives? Answer that question and others with a instructional activity that discusses radiation and its use in thermal energy transfer through electromagnetic waves. Pupils investigate...

How many Calories one needs on a daily basis is dependent on a number of factors including gender, height, and activity level. In the third of seven lessons about energy and food, young nutritionists calculate the number of Calories...

Fourth graders investigate the weight/mass of a number of items using grams, and equivalents. They examine the use of a triple beam balance before massing objects including oil and water. They go over the weights they amassed and weigh...

In this using present tense verbs for measurement activity, students read the explanations and examples of active and stative verbs, then interactively complete 5 sentences with immediate online feedback.

Young scholars discover the need for a universal measurement system. They practice using basic metric units in measuring distance and weight.

Sixth graders compare and contrast mass and weight. In this physics lesson, 6th graders calculate speed given distance and time information. They construct a rocket and relate this to Newton's 3rd Law of motion.

Fourth graders explore the mass and length of peanuts by pretending to parent a peanut. In this mode, median and range lesson students graph their measurements and then use them to find the mode, median and range. Students discuss peanut...

Use a lab sheet on circuit diagrams in your electricity unit. Fifth graders draw two series circuits with diagrams, based on two examples. A science experiment prompts learners to use 3x5 cards to illustrate the way a series circuit works.

The Law of Conservation of Matter can be complex for young scientists to fully grasp. Use this experiment to help simplify the process as pupils perform two experiments to determine mass: one that melts a substance and the other that...

Fifth graders use metric measurement to study the amount a bison eats. For this measurement lesson, 5th graders watch a video about bison and discuss the amount of food they eat. Students weigh their food trays at lunch and complete a...

Students measure their bodies. For this math lesson, students record their height and weight. Students measure themselves in six months and observe any changes.

Students investigate adolescent obesity and its health impact. In this health and obesity lesson, students research the problem, develop a survey regarding eating habits, then analyze the nutritional information on commonly eaten foods...

Although it was written to use in a science class, this measurement instructional activity is adaptable to Common Core standards in math for measurement and data. Youngsters are introduced to two types of measurement systems. They...

Learners practice gathering, averaging, and graphing data. They practice converting measurements to the metric system. Students graph their results and present them to the class.

Students master the gathering, averaging and graphing of data. They practice conversion to metric measures. They gain fluency in the use of technology tools for math operations.

Students design their own Science experiment. In this science experiment lesson students create a hypothesis related to matter and test it. They displayed their data in a graph.

Students design and build a balance using LEGO, string, and a set of standard metric weights.

Demonstrate the particle theory of matter to high school scientists with an engaging experiment that allows them to visually see the results as substances change from one state to another. The class concludes with a discussion about how...

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

Learners estimate, measure, compute, and create patterns using jelly beans. In small groups, they solve various calculations, place jelly beans into groups, invent a new flavor, create a pattern, and complete a worksheet.
