On this interactive site students learn to estimate lengths and distances using kilometers, explain the difference between perimeter and area, and measure the volume of a 3D object by counting the cubic centimeters.

Students will learn the concept of volume by determining the amount of sand that is needed to fill the long-jump pit at their school (or any rectangular- or square-shaped container). This lesson will explain the importance of knowing how...

A complete tutorial that explains time, metric system, mass, length, volume, and temperature. Interactive practices and challenge games are included.

In this activity, students will measure a variety of different materials from the classroom to determine how much matter is found in these materials then determine the mass of these materials using the same volume for each. The data will...

Activities for learning the meaning of capacity and volume.

Test your knowledge of converting between metric area and metric volume.

In this activity, students find the area and the perimeter for several geometric shapes. They also determine the surface area and volume of spheres.

Middle schoolers explore surface area and volume through this lesson and worksheet activity.

This site contains an extensive list of various units of measurement known internationally and across several disciplines. Unit symbols are also included.

Learn about the volume of a sphere with this helpful reference tool. Provides a detailed definition, examples, and an interactive activity that enhances further explanation. Includes links to related topics.

Students will use the interactive games to explore measurement.

Students learn the metric units engineers use to measure mass, distance (or length) and volume. They make estimations using these units and compare their guesses with actual values. To introduce the concepts, the teacher needs access to...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this learning module, students will learn the significance of using moles in converting between measurements and in understanding how much of something you have.

Students learn how volume, viscosity and slope are factors that affect the surface area that lava covers. Using clear transparency grids and liquid soap, students conduct experiments, make measurements and collect data. They also...

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.

Given application problems involving volume, the student will estimate measurements and solve the problems.

A practice quiz where students must choose the appropriate metric unit and amount to estimate the volume of each object. Includes hints.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This study guide looks at the definitions and postulates of surface area and volume for different solids, including composite solids and similar solids.

Students investigate the relationship between density of an object, its mass and its volume. They use mass and volume measurements to determine the density of pennies. They compare the density of pre-1983 and post-1984 pennies.

A Hawaiian kapa artist explains how she uses area and measurements as part of her art-making process in this video from the Center for Asian American Media. In the accompanying classroom activity, students watch the video and learn how...

Given application problems involving 3-dimensional figures, the student will estimate measurements, including surface area and/or volume, then solve the problems.

Find out all about measurement in this test prep lesson exploring English and metric measurement. Students can compare metric and customary measurements using the conversion charts, assess how much they have learned using the interactive...

Explore the "intelligent floor," which contains sensors that can track movements, and emulate the weighing technique associated with this technology. Explore the relationship between volume and mass and the difference between accuracy...

For this activity, students compare the volumes of three sizes of Gerber baby food jars, in various combinations, by filling them with lentils.
