Learners investigate the Metric System. They discuss the history of the Metric System, convert various units of measurement into the Metric System, and solve problems on a spreadsheet.

In this recognizing metric measurements worksheet, students read groups of three measurements and identify the one that is the smallest. Students solve 15 problems.

Students participate in a Mini-Olympics with measurements. In this measurement lesson, students throw items and predict how far they will go. They measure the actual distance and find the difference between that and their estimate. 

Students explore the measurements of capacity by constructing a creative project in the shape of a man. The man has body parts that represent different units of measurement and can be used to make conversions. This is highly concrete and...

Students participate in a metric Olympics. For this metric measurement lesson, students participate in 6 events that require them to predict, estimate, and measure lengths, masses, and area in metric units.

In this measurements worksheet, learners recognize metric measurements. Students choose the largest metric measurement in each of the fifteen problems.

Did you know in the UK a quart is smaller than in America? This explains why a standard unit of measure is necessary for volume. Young scientists learn the similarities and differences between five different units used to measure volume....

Sixth graders convert metric units of measurement. Classmates observe the use of a mnemonic for conversions. In groups, 6th graders practice converting metric units. They use a chart to describe how to convert between metric units of...

Eighth graders participate in the mini-metric Olympics. For this measurement lesson, 8th graders solve real-world problems that require them to calculate length, area, and volume in metric units.

Middle schoolers explore the concept of the golden ratio. In this golden ratio lesson, students measure objects to determine if their measurements fit the golden ratio. Middle schoolers calculate the average measurements of the class.

Young scientists learn about plate tectonics and the three different types of faults (normal, reverse, and strike-slip) using foam models. The activity also covers common types of locations where these faults are found.

How can kids use math to learn about marine life? Combine math skills with science lessons in a resource featuring activities about life in the sea. Kids graph and calculate data, solve complex word problems, measure geometric shapes,...

The student will calculate the vital capacity of the air in the lungs and trace the pathway of air into and out of the lungs. They describe the pressure changes that occur within the chest cavity when you breathe. They compare air that...

It's a parade of prefixes! Chemistry scholars identify common prefixes used throughout the sciences using an interactive puzzle series. Learners solve puzzles by pairing the prefixes with the power of ten they represent.

Students use, read and write with metric units. They practice converting from larger to smaller units. Afterwards, they construct a scale drawing of a bridge. In addition, they construct these two designs, using the same scale of 1cm to...

Fourth graders calculate volume. In this volume activity, 4th graders calculate, estimate, and compare units of volume in English and metric systems.

Students convert metric units of length, specifically meters, centimeters, and millimeters. In this lesson of converting measurements, students participate in various games which require them to put the measurements in order or convert...

Tenth graders study the metric system.  In this metric lesson students complete a lab activity and several metric worksheets. 

Eighth graders demonstrate knowledge of metric tools by measuring common objects in the classroom. They discuss the various units of metric measurement and the scientific tools used to take them. They copy a metric ladder from a Web site.

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. 

Conversion immersion — it's measuring mania! A set of four activities teaches scholars to convert between customary and metric units. Resource covers unit conversions in length, temperature, weight/mass, and volume.

Learners explore atomic measurement in the first activity in a series of 36. Through readings, activities, and questions, classes review standard SI units, learn about Avogadro's constant, and use it to help them calculate moles. They...

In this metric measurement worksheet, students circle the greatest metric measurement in sets of 3 measurements each, 15 problems total.
