First graders conduct a poll about how people like their eggs. In this graphing lesson, 1st graders collect data about how they like their eggs. Students use a picture of themselves to place under the type of egg they like. Students then...

Learners explore characteristics of mass. In this scientific inquiry about mass lesson, students drop rocks of different weights from various heights and record the depth of the "crater" created.  Learners record their findings on a...

Students investigate potential energy. In this potential energy instructional activity, students do an experiment with a bouncing ball. Students mark how high the ball bounces when it is dropped and record their results....

Fourth graders draw a set of blueprints and record measurements on them. They add, subtract and multiply to work within their house-building budget.

Students line themselves up from smallest to tallest at the chalkboard with the teacher marking their heights. After recording their names on the board next to their mark, they work with a partner to measure their height using several...

Seventh graders investigate the parts of the human body and examine the symmetry of body parts like arms and legs. They measure the body parts and take individual height and weight to compare the quantities. Student examine whether the...

Pupils explore observation while making connections between observation skills and careers (like how farmers observe the weather). They view a variety of nature photographs on the computer and practice their observation skills by...

Don't be so dense that light bends around you; study the relationship between mass and volume instead. Young chemists measure the density of a variety of liquids and solids. A reading passage and analysis questions introduce pupils to...

Not only do mealworms taste great, they are also great for classroom science lessons. In pairs, young scientists observe and record what they see as they check out what their mealworms are doing from minute to minute. Each minute...

Students participate in an experiment about evaporation. In this water cycle lesson, students use water, thermometers, and measuring tools to make a puddle and measure the size four times throughout the day. Students discuss their data...

What is mu? Emerging scientists explore the coefficient of sliding friction, or mu, and apply its concepts as they complete activities in the interesting lesson. They measure the sliding friction between soles of their own athletic shoes...

Learn more about the Olympics with your 2nd graders. Using a variety of resources, your class will learn about healthy bodies, training, and eating properly. Additionally, they will discover various Olympic activities and the athletes...

Here is a hands-on activity in which junior scientists put air into a balloon to create a closed system. They measure its circumference, warm it in hot water, and then remeasure its circumference to discover how temperature affects the...

A simple activity goes a long way in demonstrating the property of porosity to your rock hounds. They will mass a specimen of dry sandstone and then soak it in a pre-measured amount of water. After seven minutes, they once again measure...

Explore the concept of measuring and recording circumference. In this physical science and measurement lesson, young learners blow up balloons, measure the circumference, and record the data on an interactive graphing website.

Assist your class with understanding collisions as they apply the Law of Conservation of Momentum. Pupils measure the momentum before and after manipulation of two objects so that one strikes another in an inelastic collision. The lesson...

Does the position of the clips make a difference? The activity provides directions to build and test a paper rocket. Pupils attach paper clips to the rocket in different configurations and measure the distance the rocket flies each time....

Pairs of pupils get together in order to measure the heights and lengths of their shadows. They use these measurements in order to predict the height of other friends in class. A good activity to practice measuring things that cannot be...

Students explore rhythmic patterns. They create and perform the rhythms and use Cubase software to perform, record, and play rhythms for use in dictation exercises. They identify and count rhythm patterns

Students understand where the number for pi comes from. They understand and use the formula for circumference. Students measure the circles given out and the diameters of those circles and record the results on their worksheet.

In this everyday editing worksheet, students correct grammatical mistakes in a short paragraph about the strongest wind ever measured. The errors range from punctuation, capitalization, grammar, and spelling.

The fastest growing volcano in recorded history grew more than 150 meters in less than a week and to more than 424 meters in less than a decade. How do we safely monitor active volcanoes? Young scientists design an...

Introduce the day's lesson by reading Jack and The Beanstalk by Richard Walker, and then review the concept of area with your class. We don't always need rulers to measure, though! Teach learners how to use their hands to help us measure...

Students are able to observe chemcial and physical changes while producing a brilliant formation of foam. They are able to experience the use of an indicator in the reaction. Students record information based on their observations.
