Students explore the basic geometric shapes and geometric shape vocabulary through the use of geoboards and virtual geoboards. They create a variety of shapes with a partner, build ten different rectangles on their geoboards, and...

Young scholars solve real-world problems related to medical careers. They use graphical representations as part of the problem-solving process and work with fractions, decimals, exponents, and metric measurement. A demonstration is...

Students watch video, The Elements, research information about elements using both the Internet and CD-ROM program, and create atoms out of gumdrops and licorice.

Second graders examine different types of graphs and discover the meanings of the symbols used on them. After gathering data about themselves, their communities, and the world, they use that information to create graphs. Among the...

Fourth graders complete three activities. In this water supply lesson, 4th graders learn that water can exist in different forms and watch a demonstration of each form. Students explore the water cycle and make a water cycle using the...

Students understand how clouds are formed. In this cloud lesson, students participate in three experiments to make clouds. Students complete activity sheets for each experiment.

Young scholars examine why diffusion and osmosis happen in an egg cell.  In this diffusion lesson plan students demonstrate a semi permeable membrane.

Eighth graders explain the difference between acids, bases and neutral solutions. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders describe the properties of each. They determine the pH of an unknown solution using the indicator paper and pH scale.

In this Cyberchase Media Gallery, explore key concepts about liquid volume, including standard units of liquid measure and how to convert between them. In the accompanying classroom activity, students create a complete conversion chart...

Peruse a collection of lesson plans, resources and FAQ's about measurement at every grade level.

Students learn how to measure things using US Standard Units. Liquids, mass, length, and temperature are explored. Practice problems are included.

In this exercise, students practice arithmetic word problems with mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints, watch a tutorial video, and try questions repeatedly. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure...

This interactive game has students apply skills in estimation, measurement, and basic addition using pearls. Students are asked to estimate the number of pearls in a treasure chest by making predictions and using number sense. The skills...

In this exercise, students practice estimating mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get step-by-step hints and try questions repeatedly. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure and estimate liquid volumes and...

This hands-on, inquiry based lesson is an extension of the AMSTI Science Module, Solids and Liquids. Young scholars use nonstandard units to measure beans in a soup mix. Students predict how many beans will be in a scoop. Young scholars...

Tells the story of how Archimedes discovered the Archimedes Principle and his water displacement method for determining the volume and density of an object. Provides an explanation and several examples of how it is done.

In this exercise, students practice arithmetic word problems with volume. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure and estimate liquid...
