Second graders measure, record, graph, and report changes in local weather using Navajo, Ute, and Spanish words for weather conditions. They record the weather results on a graph, and create drawings of weather conditions.

Young scholars read a thermometer, associate weather conditions and seasons with temperature changes and keep a record of daily temperature.

Students participate in a variety of Olympic themed activities in order to measure their results. In this measurement lesson, students participate in cotton ball shot put, paper plate discuss throw, and other events to have fun while...

Students predict the measurement of objects. In this measurement lesson, students estimate the measurements of objects in a lab. Students measure irregular objects and generate scientific observations.

Students investigate the amount of rain that falls in their area through the construction and monitoring of a rain gauge. The gauge is observed for one week, recordings are made, and observations described in a chart.

Students examine three seismograms of a recent South American earthquake recorded by USGS stations. They measure the S-P distance and use a P and S wave travel-time graph to find the epicenter distance for each seismogram. In addition,...

Third graders measure time and length. Through the use of video and technology, they explore key elements of measurement, such as units and conversion between units. They explore alternate units of measurement and apply measurement to...

In this measuring lung volume and capacity worksheet, students perform several experiments testing for exhaled carbon dioxide, measuring lung volume, and measuring lung capacity.

Eighth graders study the scientific fields and how information can be monitored and recorded.  In this scientific inquiry lesson students view a PowerPoint presentation and complete a hands on activity. 

Young scholars explore measuring with a graduated cylinder. In this measurement lesson, students observe liquids in a beaker. Young scholars predict the volume of liquid in the beaker and then transfer the liquid to a graduated cylinder....

First graders explore and evaluate the use of both standard and nonstandard forms of measurement. They use noodles to measure the lengths of each line they have drawn. They glue the noodles to the page under the given line.

Students study the metric system and examine other ways to measure.  For this measurement lesson students complete activities that help them to better understand the measuring system. 

In this geometry worksheet, students differentiate between direct and indirect measurements. They create a table with their findings. There are 9 questions.

In this estimating the mile record, learners examine given data.  They use create a box-and-whisker plot to determine the upper and lower quartiles of the data.  This one-page worksheet contains 1 multi-step problems.

Students predict the amount of snowfall for the week and measure snowfall.  In this measuring snowfall lesson, student use a precipitation gauge to measure the week's snowfall; and analyze the data to determine whether or not...

Learners examine the differences between live and recorded music using the music of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

In this math worksheet, students use non-standard measurement to measure 5 classroom items and record the data. Students use their fingers and then ask a classmate to do the same. Students compare the data and answer 2 questions about...

Learners perform an experiment which will illustrate how to measure the approximate pH of chemicals in water using a pH indicator. They understand that a pH indicator is a chemical that changes color when it comes in contact with acids...

Young scholars explore temperature and use Celcius thermometers to measure and graph the temperature in the classroom daily. They estimate what they think the temperature might be and then find the actual temperature in the room.

Fifth graders convert units within the same measurement system and be able to determine elapsed time. They are given a start time and an end time of a game. Students determine the amount of elapsed time from the data that is given.

Second graders, in groups, prepare a list of proposed record ideas for the class book.

Fourth graders explore basic measurements by analyzing their own bodies. In this human anatomy lesson plan, 4th graders identify the units used to measure a human body such as centimeters, inches, ounces and pounds. Students complete a...

Students explore vertical and horizontal measurement of large objects. In pairs, they measure the trunk, crown, and height of a tree, create a graph of their results, and compare their results with their classmates.

Students demonstrate measurement and estimation skills. In small groups, they are given a measurement, predict what object in the classroom is equal to that specific measurement, and record their data in a table that includes the...
