Learners describe how objects in the universe range from smaller than atoms to larger than galaxies. they explain how the metric system works and compare it to the English system of measurement.

For this measurement worksheet, students fill in a chart with the proper SI units, measurements and symbols. They also practice converting from one metric unit to another. They express numbers in scientific notation.

Students practice using new vocabulary they learn about communities. In this communities vocabulary lesson plan, students use synonyms, context clues, and relevant content to unlock the meaning of new vocabulary words.

Students state the letters of the alphabet individually and in new words. In this alphabet lesson plan, students use the alphabet in a variety of ways during reading.

Students explore self-discipline. In this character education lesson, students define and give examples of discipline and self-discipline. Students work with a group to complete a related concept map.

Students build word families. In this interactive language arts activity, students visit a website where they play a game creating word families. Students may print out their work when finished.

Students compare and contrast the English and Metric system. In this chemistry lesson, students demonstrate how to convert English to metric and vise versa. They solve problems following the rules of significant figures.

Students use estimation and measurement skills to make predictions and solve problems involving length.
