Young scholars perform an experiment in order to determine how increasing weight affects the velocity of a truck and use the computer to compile their data.

Have you ever examined a pumpkin and estimated the number of lines it has? In this math lesson, students count the actual number of lines, record and graph the results. They investigate the circumference, weight and buoyancy of the...

First graders follow directions when sorting objects. They illustrate how objects are categorized by drawing at least two of the categories that they sorted the objects into. Students work in small groups at completing the task of...

Examine measurable characteristics of objects to build an understanding of the different ways you can discuss an object's size when comparing it to other objects. After whole group instruction, the class compares and organizes several...

Specific learning goals are grouped for different grade levels spanning pre-kindergarten to eighth grade. After preparing the questions and materials, you call a learner to come in front of the class and play the game. Young learners...

Students order their classmates from smallest to largest foot length.  In this ordering their classmates from smallest to largest foot length lesson, students trace each of their classmates foot.  Students read a story called,...

For this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders identify which items pictured weighs more or less than a pound. Then they circle the objects that weigh more and place an X on the object that weigh less than a pound.

Enhance your states of matter lessons with a hands-on science investigation that compares six different balls' color, texture, size, weight, ability to bounce, and buoyancy. 

First graders explore number sense by participating in a measurement estimation activity. In this weight lesson plan, 1st graders discuss the differences between measurement units, both English and Metric. Students examine a loaf of...

Young scholars explore comparing and ordering volume of containers. They use the context of Goldilocks and the Three Bears to compare the volume of various containers by packing or pouring.

In this math worksheet, students will work in a group to experiment with the weight of objects when placed at a distance from a scale (using a plank). Students will record and graph their results.

Test your learners' sensory awareness with three hands-on activities that ask pupils to use their other senses to identify and describe everyday objects hidden from sight.  

In this unit students use the traditional tale of the gingerbread man as a context for ordering and comparing lengths. They compare the length of two objects directly, order three or more objects by length and select objects that are...

Students investigate the concept of measurement for capacity and they use real containers to be filled of different sizes. Students use the scoops as the number of units for counting the capacity volume. Then they order the containers by...

Students use tables showing the ratios between ounces and pounds, grams and kilograms, and pounds and kilograms. They estimate whether an object should be weighed in ounces or pounds and whether an object should be weighed in grams or...

Third graders create a table in order to record estimations and measurements of objects. In this estimation and measurement lesson plan, 3rd graders estimate and measure object's lengths, area, weight, and capacity.

Pupils investigate the properties of air through inflated objects. In this physical science lesson, students examine gas as a state of matter. Student push on inflated objects and note the space the gas has taken up inside. Pupils...

Learners who are blind or have visual impairments learn to take high steps in order to improve their balance and mobility. They start by marching in place, and then march around the room. Finally, they attempt to step over a towel as...

For this measurements worksheet, students study the illustrated pictures in the 8 sets of problems. Students compare the pictures by length or weight.

Students identify the length of an inch. In this measurement instructional activity, students read Inch by Inch and predict how many inches long various objects are. Students practice measuring the objects by using an inch ruler.

Students complete measurement activities. In this measurement lesson, students watch online clips about measurements. Students view items and discuss taking measurements of them. Students discuss what units of measurement and equipment...

Students determine the area of two objects by superimposing one on the other. They compare and order the area of different shapes by covering a larger shape with similar smaller ones. They complete these activities as different stations.

Explore the concept of density within states of matter—gases, liquids, and solids—through a group experiment in which young scientists test objects' texture, color, weight, size, and ability to sink or float.    

Students examine how weight and balance can effect if an item sinks or floats. They listen to the book "Who Sank the Boat?" by Pamela Allen, and discuss how the smallest animal sank the boat. Students then conduct an experiment in...
