Students practice working with the metric system. Students use a metric ruler to measure and record lengths of group member's smiles, and graph their results. Students find the sum of all the smiles.

Learners take measurements using a metric ruler, find a sum of multiple metric measurements, and use a histogram to graph their results.

Learners accurately use a metric ruler to measure length. They find a sum of multiple metric measurements.

Students explore the concept of adding and subtracting integers. In this integer lesson, students use strips of paper (various sizes) to add and subtract integers. Students visualize the process of adding and subtracting integers.

Middle schoolers are given a brown paper sack filled with different types of object for them to measure. They are to first estimate the length and then measure them in centimeters and millimeters.

Students explore the concept of measurement, modelling the increments on a standard ruler using cubes and grid paper. They identify the length of a line to a designated standard unit and measure specified body parts.

Students discover how to use the rotary cutter, cutting mat, and ruler to make quilt blocks. They make a 4-patch quilt block and write a paper on their first memories of a quilt. They determine how to sew a 1/4" seam and identify bed...

Sixth graders examine the concept of symmetry and balance. They view a wardrobe with an inlaid design, then design and create a symmetrical pattern using two different colors of construction paper.

Second graders measure and grid their ideas for the new classroom floor plan. They create their own ideas for the classroom arrangement on grid paper. When they finish, they share their draft plan with their peers and with the teacher...

Students copy a present day artifact onto graph paper. In groups, they decide the scale of the drawing and create the picture using specific graphing points. They are also given photographs in which there are no graphing points and they...

In this bridge building worksheet, students follow a set of instructions, making a bridge using books, poster- board, a ruler, toy car and sheet of paper. 

Students measure their shadows early in the morning, record direction of shadow, make marks in ground with chalk or tape, measure with ruler, and record results. Students repeat process at noon, and then later in afternoon. Students...

Young scholars examine why having standardized units of measurement is important. They investigate the use of non-standard measure, twigs, while measuring the piece of tape. Next, they experiment with straws, paper clips, and rulers...

In these measurement worksheets, students measure objects in their classroom but don't use a ruler to measure. Students write what they measured and the length of the object. Students then measure the given objects in the classroom and...

Learners explore the concept of Bernoullii's Principle and how it behaves. Have each student fold the piece of paper in half. Then have them place the paper like a tent on a smooth surface. Have them blow under it (they can use a straw...

Students follow the steps of creating Mariner's Compass blocks using two different methods, freezer paper templates and paper foundations. Then they draft their own original full size block on freezer paper.

Fourth graders create artwork using the pure elements of line, shape, and color as the subject matter. The artwork is then cut or torn into organic shapes which are then glued onto a background paper, leaving areas of paper showing in...

Students participate in an activity of a mock electrophoresis using paper chromatography to study DNA and genetic restriction mapping.

Students draw a time line on graph paper on a scale of one square to every five years beginning in 1770 and ending at 2000. They place historic events and inventions in their correct time period on the time line, and add their birthday...

Students discuss items they may have wanted to bring to school, but were not allowed to. (Example: Blanket). Their responses are listed on chart paper. They listen to the teacher read "Owen" by Kevin Henkes. Students discuss appropriate...

Students make a rocket out of paper. They follow the given instructions and test to see if it will fly. They write about the experiment and are given the opportunity to change their varibles to make their rocket work.

Learners review and discuss the task to be completed and how the rubric is used to evaluate it. They each get 6 paper rectangles, 3 of one color and 3 of another color. They cut the rectangles in half two different ways. They repeat the...

Third graders investigate the use of centimeters while measuring items with rulers which they construct. They examine the need for standard units of measure. They estimate the length of body parts before making the actual measurements.

Students evaluate the acceptable use of classroom space. The class participated in a brief lecture and discuss of floor plans and how they are used in architecture. Using graph paper, they create a scale drawing of the classroom...
