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.

Students practice measurement using real world objects. In this scavenger hunt for lengths lesson plan, students collaborate to measure with rulers, yardsticks, trundle wheels, and tape measures.  Students must estimate the length...

Students measure using both metric and standard measures. They convert from one standard to the next while measuring distances in their home or classroom.

Students map and calculate the area of the school parking lot and then the volume of water falling on the school parking lot. They map the route surface runoff will take to the nearest water body and describe the roles that human...

Learners define vocabulary related to geometry and calculate the volume. In this geometry instructional activity, students calculate flow rates, and volume as it relates to a water plant facility. They calculate the volume of three...

Students design their dream gardens and work together to build a class model. They use software to create a virtual model. They only use metric measurements.

Students begin the experiment by mapping and calculating their school parking lot. They calculate the volume of water falling on the lot and map the route the water runoff takes. They discuss the roles that humans play in affecting water...
