Geometry is the study of how to use math to describe and investigate different points, lines and shapes. The way that a shape is described in geometry is with a formula, which is simply a mathematical way to calculate different...

A four-step tutorial shows students how to use a pipet in general chemistry lab to make "precise and accurate" volume measurements. View the full-length lesson via streaming video [9:46] or in segments.

This hands-on, inquiry based lesson is an extension of the AMSTI Science Module, Solids and Liquids. Young scholars use nonstandard units to measure beans in a soup mix. Students predict how many beans will be in a scoop. Young scholars...

In this activity, students' will use a heart rate monitor to measure their heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) while they exercise. They will understand the effect of exercise on heart rate and learn how to measure differences in heart...

In this activity, students learn about their heart rate and different ways it can be measured. Students construct a simple measurement device using clay and a toothpick, and then use this device to measure their heart rate under...

Assess height, weight, and volume using metric measurements. This interactive exercise touches on place value and focuses on the prefixes associated with metric measurement.

Experiment to find out which size of gravel has the most porosity by measuring volume.

In this activity, learners compare ways to measure their heart rates. They will build their own stethoscopes and learn how exercise affects heart rate.

Beehives are made of walls, each of the same size, enclosing small hexagonal cells where honey and pollen are stored and bees are raised. This problem examines some of the mathematical advantages of the hexagonal tiling in a beehive....

In this task, students are given an aluminum soda can and are simply asked how they could determine how thick the can is. Aligns with G-MG.A.1 and G-MG.A.2.

In this task, students must estimate the number of leaves on a large tree, taking into account various complex factors such as the area shaded by the tree, the area of irregularly shaped leaves, the uneven distribution of leaves, the...

This is a mathematical modeling task aimed at making a reasonable estimate for something which is too large to count accurately, the number of leaves on a tree, taking into account the tree size and the density of the leaves. Aligns with...

Compare weights and volumes using popped and unpopped popcorn.

Use this converter to find equivalent units for a measure. You can convert measures for area, length, weight, temperature, and volume.

In this task, 8th graders are presented with a drawing of three glasses of different shapes and their measurements. They are asked to make several calculations that require the application of the Pythagorean Theorem and volume formulas....

In Spanish. This interactive unit examines how to measure in space. The basic tools are the scalar and vectors.

Half-length practice test for the third grade OAT (Ohio Achievement Test). The test includes 17 multiple-choice and 4 open-response questions dealing with topics such as number sense (order of operations, ratios), measurement (metric...

Part two of two; The March 2006 7th grade Math test from the State of New York. The test is eight open-response questions dealing with topics such as data analysis (making graphs, Venn diagrams), measurement (unit conversions), and...

Half-length practice test for the third grade OAT (Ohio Achievement Test). The test includes 17 multiple-choice and 3 open-response question dealing with topics such as measurement (unit conversion, time), geometry (volume, area), data...

Pump gas molecules to a box and see what happens as the volume changes, add or remove heat, change gravity, and more. Measure the temperature and pressure, and discover how the properties of the gas vary in relation to each other....

DENSITY is a physical property of matter, as each element and compound has a unique density associated with it. Density defined in a qualitative manner as the measure of the relative "heaviness" of objects with a constant volume. For...
