Find a collection of standards-aligned teacher and student resources where students follow procedural text.

In this activity, students tackle this aspect of engineering as they solve problems for precise angles and speeds, and predict data output when samples are altered.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore a science investigation learning module including conversions, error, and uncertainty in scientific measurement.

Students explore and use the concept of ratio in a real-world situation. They will make judgments regarding accuracy and precision of measurement.

Classical Revival structure; built in 1862; housed the W. & L. E. Gurley Company, a maker of precision measuring instruments.

This module looks at the history of measurement, beginning with non-standard units, the advent of standard units (in this case metric), and when approximation or precision would be needed.

A four-step tutorial shows students how to use a pipet in general chemistry lab to make "precise and accurate" volume measurements. View the full-length lesson via streaming video [9:46] or in segments.

The purpose of this task is to illustrate through an absurd example the fact that in real life quantities are reported to a certain level of accuracy, and it does not make sense to treat them as having greater accuracy. Aligns with N-Q.A.3.

Isidor Isaac Rabi won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1944 for his development of a technique for measuring the magnetic characteristics of atomic nuclei. Rabi's technique was based on the resonance principle first described by Irish...

Read about the history of iron use and the many applications of steel in modern life. Learn about how iron is extracted from ore, how steel is made, and the invention of invar, an iron-nickel alloy, by physicist Charles Edouard Guillaume.

Giraffe Pull is a multi-player game that allows students from anywhere in the world to play tug of war with each other while practicing telling time!

Students solidify their understanding of the terms "circumference" and "rotation" through the use of LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robotics components. They measure the circumference of robot wheels to determine how far the robot can travel during...

Students work as physicists to understand centripetal acceleration concepts. They also learn about a good robot design and the accelerometer sensor. They also learn about the relationship between centripetal acceleration and centripetal...

In this two-day lesson, students will collaborate to create a healthy pizza using only geometric items that have been precisely measured. Students must identify the items as triangle, quadrilateral (parallelogram), or cube. Next,...

In this activity, students will measure the acceleration of a freely falling body (g) to better than 0.5% precision with the help of a Picket Fence and a Photogate.

Students receive two Cabri Jr. files of quadrilaterals on a coordinate plane. They use their knowledge of quadrilaterals to give each one the most precise name. They may find the length and/or slope of the sides using the measuring tools...

Physicist Felix Bloch developed a non-destructive technique for precisely observing and measuring the magnetic properties of nuclear particles. He called his technique "nuclear induction," but nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) soon became...
