Fourth graders measure one centimeter cubed blocks to determine their size. They measure lines using a worksheet that is not included in the lesson. Next, they measure the area of figures on the sheet using the cubes in place of a ruler.

Students investigate the concept of measurement and using a ruler with accuracy up to 1/16 of an inch. They practice using measurement with a ruler in different contexts. To help with the presentation of the lesson a PowerPoint slideshow...

In this length, weight and measures 2 worksheet, 3rd graders draw lines to match three objects to the tool needed to measure each one and the unit of measure used in metric.

In this length worksheet, students convert measurements of length from one metric unit to another. They measure line segments, indicate their measurements and read a metric ruler.

Students discover that proportions are made up of equal ratios each containing the same building blocks. They, using the Internet, apply their knowledge of direct relationships and proportions to problems in planetary science.

Students use metrics to measure, draw, and cut out a boomerang from cardboard.

How does radiation affect our daily lives? Answer that question and others with a lesson that discusses radiation and its use in thermal energy transfer through electromagnetic waves. Pupils investigate vaporization and...

In this science activity, middle schoolers identify and explain what each unit represents and how much each one equals. Then they use a metric ruler to locate each measurement and write it on the line. Students also locate the distance...

Fifth graders explore measurement. In this measurement lesson, 5th graders review fractions, simplifying and using rulers to practice measuring by inches and centimeters. Students are shown how to measure and given a...

A variety of units of measurement are taught in this math worksheet. First, students measure objects using their hands. Then, they use a ruler to gain more precise measurements in meters and centimeters. Nice worksheet!

Students work with measurements of length, area, and volume capacity of a liquid. They watch a teacher demonstration of both English and metric units before they estimate and take actual measurements of assigned items a three different...

The student will calculate the vital capacity of the air in the lungs and trace the pathway of air into and out of the lungs. They describe the pressure changes that occur within the chest cavity when you breathe. They compare air that...

From their sweat to the water vapor in their breath, astronauts recycle every possible drop of water while in space. After watching a short video describing the different ways materials are recycled and reused in space...

Fourth graders explore measuring with English unit rulers. They practice measuring in fractions of inches. Students discuss how to place the ruler when measuring an object. They begin measuring using rulers with 1/4 inch increments and...

Students explore geometry by participating in a measurement activity. In this human anatomy lesson, students identify the appropriate methods to measure human body parts and do so in class. Students create a bar graph from their class...

Two activities explore the concept of size, especially small sizes down to the nano. Scholars practice determining volume, mass, and density and calculate exponential increases and decreases. They then predict and test the effect of size...

Students use a variety of measuring devices including a ruler, yardstick, and tape measure to accurately measure objects in inches, feet, and yards. They report on these measurements, both orally and in writing.

Students participate in experiments at five stations to practice measurement. In this measuring lesson, students are presented different produce and objects and must measure with an appropriate tool. Students use metric and customary...

Students examine the impact of sea level on land formations. In this geography and map lesson, students construct a contour map model illustrating how much of the clay "coastline" is covered as water is added. Metric measurement is...

Middle schoolers explore heat energy and how it is used to change the phase of matter, and discover that temperature does not increase or decrease until the phase change is complete. This extremely well-written plan is packed with great...

Students use the wrapper of a Hershey's Kiss to practice estimating, predicting and measuring. They measure with centimeter rulers.

In this measuring length worksheet, students learn to use a rule to measure distances. Students measure the lines to the nearest centimeter. Students finish by drawing lines using a ruler and the given measurements.

In this backyard map centimeter measurement worksheet, 1st graders cut out a centimeter ruler from the bottom of the page. They use the ruler to measure the path between objects which are pictures in the backyard map at the top of the...

In this science instructional activity, students draw several markings on a ruler or graduated cylinder or thermometer to get each of the correct measurements. Then they state what place the marking indicates and the number of...
