Students measure the temperature of three water sources. They collect data points every second for twenty five seconds for each sample using Lego Robolab temperature sensors, complete a worksheet, and analyze the data.

Leave no student behind with this differentiated geometry unit on perimeter and area. Over the course of five lessons, young mathematicians explore these foundational concepts through a series of self-selected hands-on activities and...

Believe it or not, some dinosaurs are not extinct. Discover this and other interesting facts about dinosaurs in a 10-question online quiz. As individuals answer questions, the resource provides them with feedback and additional facts...

Students conduct an experiment. In this wind measurement lesson plan, students learn about instruments that measure the wind and then make a weather vane. Students record wind speed over a few days.

Fourth graders collect, record, and analyze data using simple weather instruments and a variety of weather resources to investigate weather. They observe the teacher demonstrate how a rain gauge functions, record the weather for five...

Students discuss weather forecasts and different types of weather. In this weather lesson, students observe the weather and learn a weather song. They listen to a story and see weather measurement tools. 

In this math worksheet, learners will work in small groups to measure the height of objects, such as trees, using their shadows. Students will be able to determine heights of objects that cannot be directly measured.

Students plan and build a ramp designed for maximum distance a car can travel. In this physics and data collection math instructional activity, students work in groups to design a ramp using various household materials. Students test...

Sixth graders explore standard and nonstandard measurement. In this measurement lesson, 6th graders estimate the lengths of different objects and write about their observations during measuring. Students work in groups to...

Students discover how to measure the circumference of objects. In this measurement lesson, students use a pumpkin and a tape measure to estimate and find the circumference of the pumpkin.

Students construct their own galvanometer. In this physics lesson, students explain how it is used to detect electric current. They conduct an experiment to measure how much electricity flows through the circuit.

Second graders investigate how objects can move in different ways. They move in different ways across the room and develop a class list of movement words. Students also conduct a measuring motion experiment, create a bar graph for the...

Students observe and sort tree leaves. In this earth science lesson, students observe the attributes of real leaves and measure leaves using Unifix cubes.

Sixth graders observe school ground trees planted nearly 3 decades ago.  For this ecology lesson, 6th graders examine a group of trees planted near their campus and measure the diameter, circumference and growth of the tree compared...

Young scholars measure their bodies. In this math lesson, students record their height and weight. Young scholars measure themselves in six months and observe any changes.

Students use standard rulers to measure the length of common classroom items - such as pencils, books, desk tops - in inches and centimeters, and measure weight in pounds. They also answer math questions, such as "How long is the front...

Students use a ruler or meter stick to practice their metric unit and estimation skills by measuring everyday objects. First, students estimate the measurements of five distances as larger or smaller than a meter. Students then measure...

In this scientific investigation learning exercise, students follow the provided procedures to examine the temperature reading of wet and dry thermometers and then respond to 5 questions.

In this measuring leverage on a balance worksheet, students use this data sheet to record the mass and the distance for two objects on a balance as part of a science experiment.

Have your learners delve into the realm of crime statistics using this resource. They use data to answer a series of questions about crime in Britain.

Students demonstrate use of an Emission tube power supply, a diffraction grating, and a scientific calculator to determine the different wavelengths of light.

Second graders will track the weather patterns throughout the school year. This project spans the school year and takes five minutes per day or less. Measuring, data collection, and predictions are all explored throughout this relevant...

Accomplished chemistry learners set up a calorimeter and measured the energy released by various alcohols: methanol, ethanol, and either propanol or butanol. Lab masters will first need to design their tables for recording data. Consider...

Middle schoolers investigate the validity of da Vinci's proportion theory by recording human measurements on scatter plots. In groups of three, they record each other's height and wingspan to create a Powerpoint presentation, chart, or...
