Explore various types of measurement with fourth graders. They will practice using balance pans to measure the weight of a coin and a graduated cylinder to determine the displacement volume for a bolt. The metric system will be the focus...

Learners discover that density is considered a property and that cutting an object in half does not affect its density. They examine the densities of many common substances and make connections.

Students create metallic Bas-relief scultures using basic art supplies and the technique of "tooling" in this Art lesson with croos-curricular connections in Social Studies and Math. A scoring rubric is included for assessment and...

Students study various aspects of air. In this science lesson plan, students discover that air occupies space, understand the visual effects of air, and explain how air exerts force.

In this student exploration-weight and mass worksheet, student use the Weight and Mass Gizmo to answer questions and fill in charts with estimating and measuring.

Students investigate why some objects float or sink in water. In this physics lesson plan, students calculate the density of clay ball using a mathematical equation. They write a complete lab report about the experiment.

Fifth graders solve equations. In this algebraic equations lesson plan, 5th graders use the inverse operation to solve an equation. The teacher reminds students to perform the operation on both sides of the equation. This lesson plan...

Pupils estimate how many children in their class it would take to equal the mass of one adult bear. They then weigh and record their measurement on a chart to check their estimate.

Learners design and build a balance using LEGO, string, and a set of standard metric weights.

In this scales instructional activity, students use addition, multiplication, and division to find out how much the shapes on the scales weigh. Students complete 8 problems total.

Young scholars complete a unit with cross-curricular activities to learn about a healthy body and maintaining their health. In this health instructional activity, students complete 8 lessons to learn about good health, a healthy diet,...

Students perform several tests on liquids. In this general science instructional activity, students compare the properties of polymeric and nonpolymeric liquids. They explain the composition and importance of macromolecules.

In this pounds and ounces worksheet, students solve 3 story problems in which the best answer from 3 choices is circled. All pertain to weights in pounds and ounces; students are asked to use a balance scale and 1 pound measure but no...

Learners practice using a different type of measurement each day. They complete data sheets to record their information. They practice estimating the weight of an object as well.

Students investigate meteor impacts on the Earth's surface by using different size balls and charting their impacts, given their diameter and mass.

Students investigate Archimedes' Principle and show how it relates to density. In this Archimedes' Principle lesson plan, students experiment with a beaker of water, a Styrofoam "boat" and a weight. They predict what will happen when the...

Students investigate calorimetry and set up equipment to measure calories. In this calorimetry lesson plan, students make a calorimeter and compare large amounts of heated water with small amounts to show the difference in calories....

Students experiment with a variety of liquids to calculate density. In this integrated science and math lesson, students listen to a story in which the characters must prove and explain why 5 "mystery" liquids react in a certain manner....

Students investigate density using film canisters filled with different density materials and larger objects of varying density. In this density lesson plan, students discuss the concept of density and rank film containers from dense to...

In this math problem solving worksheet, students describe how they will decide which coin among a stack is heavier than the others by weighing them. The challenge is to do so in the fewest number of steps. The answer is thoroughly...

In this physics worksheet, students determine the density of irregular solids using water displacement method to complete 7 problems and short answer questions.

Students explore solids, liquids, and gasses and categorize and describe the three states of matter. In this chemistry lesson, students categorize items as solid, liquid, or gas based on the definitions given by the teacher. Students...

Learners compare and contrast the terms "weight" and "mass". In this physics lesson plan, students observe an experiment in which objects are placed on a balance scale and weighed under different circumstances. Partners drop items and...

Ninth graders explore the concept of a simple equation. They use addition and subtraction in one step in order to find balance to both sides of the equation. Students are encouraged to succeed using positive praise at the beginning of...
