Learners observe how to measure in metric units.  In this investigative lesson plan students compare different units of volume to see how things are measured.

Young scholars divide into groups of three or four, elect in their group who they think has the biggest mouth. This question will be followed by Mrs. Peters' joke about big mouths and frogs. Students then be asked how they could prove to...

Students practice determining liquid densities in a short, hands-on lab activity. Students use a graduated cylinder to measure out 100 milliliters of a liquid, find its mass using a balance, and record measurements in a data table....

Second graders, in groups, measure the volume of four containers that vary in shape and size.

In this measuring learning exercise, students determine the mass shown on the scale, review how to read measurements in a graduated cylinder, and determine which measuring method is more precise. This learning exercise has 5 short answer...

Students calculate the volumes of regularly shaped objects from measurements of their dimensions. They use several formulas and measure different objects to calculate the density, volume, and mass of the objects selected or assigned.

Learners identify the concepts of density, mass, and volume that define the property of a substance. They also determine that the properties of materials, such as, density and volume, can be compared and measured by using rulers,...

Students research the development and implementation of a research vessel/vehicle used for deep ocean exploration. In this oceanography activity, students calculate the density of objects by determining the mass and volume.

Students define density in their own words. In this physics lesson, students calculate density using mass and volume. They explain why some objects sink and some float.

In this Care Homework worksheet, students solve a variety of multiple digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems that include fractions, decimals, and percentages. They demonstrate knowledge of geometric formulas...

In this functions worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 6 different types of problems. First, they find the largest value of a given function. Then, students determine the values of the constants a, b, c, dso that the curve is a...

In this gas instructional activity, students practice using the gas laws to calculate volume, pressure, or temperature of gases in 12 different word problems.

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...

In this maximum and minimum points learning exercise, students solve and complete 12 various types of problems. First, they find the area of the smallest triangle given the point of intersection. Then, students find the volume of a box...

Middle schoolers investigate Pi. In this mathematics lesson, learners discuss the history of Pi and determine how the approximation of Pi was discovered.

Seventh graders investigate the area and volume of 2D and 3D figures. In this geometry instructional activity, 7th graders create a storyboard explaining their knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes. They analyze their data and interpret...

Swimmers know to float by turning their bodies horizontally rather than vertically, but why does that make a difference? In an interesting lesson, scholars explore buoyancy and the properties of air and water. They test cups to see which...

What do we do when a dive is too dangerous for humans to accomplish? Send in the robots! Middle school scientists get acquainted with several different models of submersible robots in the second lesson of six from NOAA. Lab groups then...

In this math worksheet, students sketch the regions that give rise to three integrals. They find the volume of a solid in the first octant bounded by a defined cylinder and a parabaloid. Students change a function to polar coordinates....

Create and investigate nets for solid shapes with your class. They identify the different parts and faces of each polygon and solid then calculate the surface area and volume of cones. They use circle sectors of varying sizes to build...

Sprouting scientists explore the concept of density by making mass and volume measurements for five different liquids. From these measurements, they calculate densities. They apply their learning to explain Galileo's thermometer works...

In this density laboratory worksheet, students complete 2 prior knowledge questions, then use the "Density Laboratory Gizmo" to complete several activities, answering short answer questions when finished.

Students explore the concept of density. In this density lesson, students determine the density of various objects. Students use the density of the various objects to predict the density of various unknown solutions.

Students predict the shape of a geometric figure in 3D. In this geometry lesson, students construct 3D shapes to perfect their knowledge of measuring and predicting. This assignment is also available as an online interactive...
