Young scholars calculate the area of figures using the formula: length x width = area. They solve area problems using paper squares, geoboards, and real-world problems.

Students create and develop a travel mug. They create visuals and a three dimensional infomercial. They apply an engineering design and demonstrate knowledge of thermodynamics involved in heat transfer. They illustrate Newton's Law of...

Students participate in a paper folding activity that has them create a ruler for measuring to the closest 1/16th of an inch.

Students explore the size of one ton. They research the capacity of sialing ships and estimate the volume of rectangular prisms. Students perform activities to discover the capacity of a classroom in tons.

Students review the characteristics of wetlands and list their benefits. After viewing short videos, they identify the organims that make their home in wetlands and how they have adapted. They compare and contrast the characteristics...

Second graders measure surface area and perimeter using estimation. They complete a variety of measurement activities using Cheerios breakfast cereal.

Students discuss situations when it is useful to know exact weight of object as opposed to estimated weight, estimate weight of various items, weigh them on scale using ounces and pounds, and compare their weights on Guess Your Best...

Second graders publish a class cookbook of their own recipes. They explore the nutritional value of foods, calculate the measurements, and prepare a healthy recipe for the class.

Third graders estimate and measure the length of a whole color-segmented, candy gummy worm. Then, as students bite off each segment, they estimate, measure and record findings in an activity log.

Fifth graders discover in hands-on activities the relationships between the measures. They work in groups to create conversion tables using familiar measuring tools. Students solve problems requiring conversions.

Young scholars investigate the properties of air through hands-on activities in conjunction with the demonstrations in a 3-2-1 Contact Video.

Students identify Newton's Laws of Motion. They students explore Newton's Laws of Motion and apply the second law with a classroom activity. The videos will provide visual examples of the effects of gravity while riding on a roller coaster.

Learners investigate Mexican holiday celebrations and compare them to American Christmas holidays. They conduct a Mexican Christmas Scavenger Hunt. The lesson plan uses a streaming video in order to engage students in the main objectives.

Students use seconds, minutes, and hours. They then discuss the size of a thousand. After that they read time in digital or analogue form.

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 explore the size of a kilometer and the time it takes to cover this distance. They develop a concept of a km. They measure a distance of 1 km and the time taken to cover it.

Third graders measure distance using nonstandard units of measure. In this measurement lesson, 3rd graders measure a given distance through the use of the game "Mother May I?" Student gather and compare data on how many "giant steps" and...

Fourth graders practice estimating temperatures. They practice in Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Fourth graders measure cups, quarts, and liters.

Students recreate landfills in petri dishes, observe relative biodegradability in a year-long project, and isolate a cellulose degrading bacteria while discovering the need for recycling and the serious problem waste management has...

Fifth graders determine that carbon dioxide is a gas given off during respiration and that oxygent is the gas that is absorbed during respiration. They determine the air capacity of the lungs.

Pupils estimate and accurately measure the size of angles communicate with the appropriate geometric terms and symbols to describe and name angles, lines, line segments, rays

Students, in groups, estimate measurments and then select the tools needed and measure various items at Black Bayou Lake refuge.

Third graders are introduced to the problem with a short discussion about parking. They then solve with a partner. As they work ask questions that focus on the strategies they are using to make the calculations.
