[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students explore the scientific implications of measurement, and learn about system international metrics, dimensional analysis, scientific notation, and more.

This site has a detailed step-by-step instruction of how to convert units of measurement. Multiplying by 1 is explained as are compound units, and finding conversion factors. The discussion is slowed down for students who may have missed...

Understand the measurement process and the need for standard units.

A comprehensive guide for learning all about capacity with definitions, units of measurements, conversion, solved examples, and practice questions.

Details on the different systems of measurement with fun facts and an activity.

Today students will focus on the idea that measuring an object using different length units will result in different measurements.

Students will be using a hands-on approach to learning about length, capacity, and weight. This lesson contains a detailed plan, slides containing notes and problems, and a video tutorial.

First graders continue to measure floor strips with a choice of three different units.

The learning resource discusses units, dimensions, and measures used in Chemistry. Some topics explored are dimension, symbols in metric units and symbols in English units. The activity consists of definitions and explanations.

Count unit squares and partial unit squares to find the area of shapes. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly or receive step-by-step hints.

Bill Murray called it "Baby Stepping" but today we will be student stepping. The students will measure 8 different lines using their own feet!

September 24, 1902. A new cooking school is set to open at Boston's 30 Huntington Avenue. The rooms will soon be filled with trainee cooks, who will watch in awe as the school's namesake and principal, Fannie Farmer, lectures on...

Instructional module focusing on the metric system. Discussion includes the historical development of the system and an explanation of base units. Site also includes an interactive practice quiz and links relating to the topic.

Why are there two systems of measurement? How do we move between units in the same system? Students create and use foldables to convert measurement units.

For this lesson, students will use hands on inquiry in cooperative learning groups to understand, develop and analyze common measurements used by astronomers. Students will use common objects such as straws, twizzlers, or toothpicks to...

Using inquiry-based learning, students work in groups to devise metric conversion factors after analyzing example calculations. By finding inaccuracies in the problems given, students zero in on the correct methods of doing conversions.

This is a list of 32 review questions and problems over the concepts presented in Chapter 1: What Is Physics? from the TEA Physics text.

This article describes a new approach to teaching children more than just memorizing a formula to find area and hope they don't confuse it with perimeter. This approach involves a project with real life situations....

Solve word problems that involve converting between US customary measures of distance, volume, and mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

How do we understand the difference between inches and centimeters? Why does measuring a given object in centimeters always give a bigger number than measuring the same object in inches? This lesson includes detailed plans, printable...

Move over Van Halen because today we are all going to "Jump." So go ahead and jump as students solve an assessment piece and story problems involving jump lengths. If you are under 30, please Google Van Halen before proceeding.

Learn about the volume of a sphere with this helpful reference tool. Provides a detailed definition, examples, and an interactive activity that enhances further explanation. Includes links to related topics.

Before entering first grade, young children need to have a basic understanding of measurement. They do not need to be able to use standard units of measurement, but they must be able to use the basic attributes to make comparisons in...
