In this measurement worksheet, learners measure the length and height of different objects given to them. Students complete 3 problems total.

In this measuring worksheet, students cut out a measuring bar, using it to measure and record the height of pictures of trees. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Students discuss the size of adult African elephants after a demonstration on their height. They try to guess the animal of discussion based on clues given about their size and characteristics. As a class, they try to identify other...

Students gather data relating to trees in their environment. In this biology lesson plan, students determine heights of trees and their ages. A canopy map will indicate optimal growing areas for the tree.

Students list four ways to identify trees. For this tree identification instructional activity, students use tree identification techniques such as leafs, bark, wood grain, soil type, and climate to create tables and graphs.

In this recognizing customary measurement concepts worksheet, students estimate and measure objects, determine whether measurement of an estimate is sufficient, make lists of objects with specific measurements, and solve word problems....

In this shadow sleuth worksheet, students use proportions and indirect measurement to determine the measurement of given objects. This one-page worksheet contains three problems.

Young scholars examine how trees are measured and the different methods used.  In this density lesson students divide into groups and practice the different methods.

In this measuring with centimeters and meters worksheet, learners use the rulers provided to find the length and height of objects. Students solve three problems.

In this measuring trees worksheet, students explore the internet program Gizmo about measuring trees and answer short answer questions about it. Students answer 22 questions.

Students identify how tall a tree is. In this measurement lesson, students use "luminometers" to measure a tree and complete a data sheet.

Students determine the length and width of leaf samples to the nearest millimeter and the circumference of trees. They participate in a discussion about the importance of collecting specimens carefully. They compile accurate...

In this comparing heights of famous landmarks worksheet, 2nd graders use the data given to solve six problems about which landmark is taller.

How do you find the lengths of items that cannot be directly measured? The 13th installment in a series of 16 has pupils use the similarity content learned in an earlier resource to solve real-world problems. Class members determine...

Students measure distances using indirect measurements. In this geometry lesson, students apply proportion and ratios to measure heights of different objects. They differentiate between direct and indirect measurements.

Students apply their math skills to develop an accurate estimate of the height of a tall tree. Three different methods are outlined. All grade levels should be able to perform the shadow method and the proportional method.

High schoolers use similar triangles to find missing heights.  In this using similar triangles to find missing heights lesson, students use proportions to find the heights of missing side lengths.  High schoolers find the...

Tenth graders analyze graphs and by comparing trees. In this geometry activity, 10th graders investigate the use of different graphs using bar and regular graphs. They work groups at the computer.

Young scholars use similar triangles and a sight tool to find the height and distance between large objects. In this similar triangles lesson plan, students use a constructed sight tool to measure the distance and height of an object...

Learners measure and apply their knowledge of proportion to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students measure using a meter stick, small mirror and measuring tape. They compare and contrast their measurements to objects outside...

Students explore measurement comparisons of taller and shorter. They examine a picture and order the picture's elements from shortest to tallest. Afterwards, they draw themselves and other items shorter or taller than welements in the...

Students work together to complete an experiment calculating the amount of board footage in a tree. They record their data and answer questions at the end of the lesson. They create their own hypothesis as well.

Students practice measuring the height of redwood trees. On a group walk, they observe the height of various trees and identify the species. In groups, they use their geometry skills and other techniques to measure the tree and determine...

Students work together to determine how fast trees go. They make predictions and complete simple measurements. They answer questions to end the instructional activity.
