Students examine coral skeletons. For this science lesson, view real coral skeletons. Students explain the differences between an observation and an inference. Students draw a coral skeleton.

Students examine how the circumference, diameter, and the relationship of Pi of a circle are related. They count the summer rings of a tree to determine its growth.

Learners work as a team to build a freestanding bridge from newspapers and masking tape and analyze the effectiveness of their group. In this teamwork lesson, students view and summarize a video on Service Learning Projects. Learners...

Third graders have a blast trying to measure live, wiggly, stretching worms to the nearest inch. Groups record their data onto a class graph and then compare characteristics. They share their findings with the rest of the class. Fun...

Students explore weight. In this math lesson, students predict which item weighs more and discuss how they arrived at their decision. Students weigh several items to determine which weighs more.

Third graders complete scientific investigation to determine what volume is and how it is determined by size not by mass. They discuss what they know about volume before proceeding with the demonstration and experimentation. After the...

Students read Poppy by Avi and then dissect an owl pellet. They complete a KWL chart and play vocabulary games to prepare for the dissection. They examine what the pellet can tell us about the owl's life.

Students measure various attributes of an orange. They discuss the attributes of an orange that can be measured, develop a list of attributes and describe how they can measure it, and rotate through four stations measuring the volume,...

In this grade 6 science quiz, 6th graders complete a 15 question multiple choice quiz covering a variety of grade 6 concepts. 

Students explore the concept of origami. In this origami lesson plan, students construct picture frames out of paper. Students find the midpoint of the paper and determine the fractional area of the paper as it is folded.

Fifth graders are introduced to Newton's First Law of Motion. In groups, they describe the differences between balanced and unbalanced forces. They participate in experiments that demonstrate how equal and opposite forces act upon...

In this Earth and Moon worksheet, students find the ratio of the Earth's radius to the Moon's radius, they compare the diameter of the Earth and Moon, they create paper models to scale of the Earth and Moon and they compare Earth-Moon...

Eighth graders investigate the effect of temperature on the volume of a gas in a closed container. They measure the height of the water in their beaker/container, conduct their experiment, and create a graph to illustrate their data.

Students predict if the height of a ramp affect how far an object travels. They design and conduct an experiment to test their predictions. The results are recorded and a graph is created to show the relationship between ramp height and...

Students calculate the area and circumference of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students solve word problems with circles and create formulas to calculate the area. They find the rate and complex area of a circle.

Students examine the components of ecosystems. They compare and contrast an ecosystem to an aquatic ecosystem. They examine a local ecosystem and discuss its components.

Practice using metric rulers and rulers with inches. Includes helpful feedback when questions are answered incorrectly.

Decide whether you want to measure in Standard or metric and at what level (i.e. inch, half inch or centimeter, millimeter) and begin practice. Computer will generate a line above the ruler and the player enters the length and checks for...

In this lesson plan site, students will learn how to use a metric ruler to measure length, accurately read and record measurements taken in centimeters and millimeters, and collect and analyze data using a stem and leaf.

This interactive activity gives young students practice measuring lines with a ruler using centimeters.
