For this customary units of weight worksheet, students use the math table that shows the normal weight of balls used in various professional sports. Students use the numbers in each table to solve the problems.

Second graders investigate the meaning of temperature. They determine what happens to a thermometer when the temperature rises or falls. They place thermometers in different classroom locations in order to compare the temperature in a...

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

Students formulate a hypothesis using critical thinking skills. They use an orange to examine the displacement of water as the orange sinks or floats.

Fourth graders are introduced to the problem by weighing objects on the balance scales. Use weights in both pans. (If you don't have access to scales use 2 containers and a child acting as the balance.) They then listen to the problem...

Students determine the density of metal shot by a graphical method using significant digits in making measurements and calculations. Students graph a seris of laboratory measurements and determine density from a mass verses volume graph.

Students discover the Archimedes principle through a buoyancy experiment. They measure the water displacement of a lump a clay which is denser than water then reshape the clay into a bowl which floats but displaces more water.

Young scholars determine how fractions relate to whole numbers. They determine the relationship among different fractions and order fractions from least to greatest. They determine how the viscosity of mud can be varied to affect its...

Eighth graders study weight, force and mass as it pertains to the earths pull.  In this weightlessness lesson students are divided into groups and complete an activity. 

In this scales learning exercise, students find the weight of the shapes on the scale by comparing it to the other side, and make up their own problems. Students complete 5 sets of problems.

Students examine and discuss what owls eat and how their digestive system works. They dissect owl pellets, identify the bones found, and analyze and record the results.

Students see the difference between weight and mass when they examine the method of measuring each of them.

Fifth graders study the water cycle. In this science lesson plan, 5th graders distinguish among evaporation, condensation, and precipitation phases of the water cycle.

Fourth graders make models of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks out of different types of candy and cookies.

First graders measure weight and capacity. In this measurement lesson, 1st graders explore visual examples of weight and capacity comparisons. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Sixth graders simulate the creation of impact craters on Mars.Through the creation of model surfaces, the effects of an impacting object's mass, velocity and size are determined, and the features of the resulting crater are identified.

Students learn what causes popcorn to pop.

Pupils examine the genocide that took place in Rwanda in 1994 and focus the post-genocide success of women. They study websites to examine how women are challenging their traditional roles in Rwandan society.

Use this tool to strengthen understanding and computation of numerical expressions and equality using a balance scale.

Help find the camel's toys in bowls of camel food by using a pan balance scale.

This is a game of weighing the rocks using the pan balance.

This PDF document is a PowerPoint Presentation on integrating iMovie into your classroom. The five basic steps of plan, shoot, capture, edit and publish are outlined and examples of how to use iMovie in your classroom are given. Finally,...
