Fifth graders use Geoboards to demonstrate how shapes can be made by looping the rubber bands over the nails. They make a triangle on their Geoboards. At least one side of the triangle should be either horizontal or vertical. The picture...

Fourth graders investigate a range of circles, each with a different radius, diameter and circumference and assemble this information in their search for relationships.The measurement of circles and the relationships to be found within...

Students explore the making of circles and concepts related to them in geometry. The project is inquiry based will focus upon students making their own nametags. The construction is ideal for hands on students.

Middle schoolers realize that density exists. They develop a mental model of density-to realize that something is going on that they cannot see to account for differences between materials.

Students predict what is going to happen using prior knowledge being prepared to alter a view when faced with new evidence. They then accurately measure and record liquid volumes realizing that liquids and granular solids have...

Students experiment with density of ice, and examine how density affects how icebergs float in water.

Fourth graders using the idea of "how many more squirts" fill a container to develop multiplicative thinking. They also investigate the idea of conservation of volume when working with oddly shaped containers. They attempt to use...

Students use the lesson, "Squirt", to support students' development of multiplicative thinking. Squirt encourages students to anticipate multiplicative measurement relationships, e.g. three measures of A fit in B, by partially filling a...

Students pace a Gunther Chain, a measurement used by foresters to determine distance and area. They discuss that pacing is individualized depending on age, gender, etc. They practice to find an average pace. Teams estimate, pace and...

For this dimensional analysis worksheet, students solve six word problems using dimensional analysis to solve for an unknown. These include finding density, and converting from one unit to another. They also categorize samples as...

Students discover plant chemical processes through three lab activities. Overheads, data sheets, and teaching procedures provided for the unit covering photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration.

Students construct using Cabri software. In this geometry lesson, students convert between units and apply the correct measurements to build objects. They create the room virtually and manipulate the shapes to the desired measurements.

Twelfth graders use Algebra and Geometry to solve a real life problem at the Zoo.

Students participate in an experiment and learn to record it using the scientific method.  In this biodegradable plastics lesson, students follow the scientific method to complete an inquiry. Students complete an experiment with a...

In this rocket worksheet, students calculate the burn rate for solid rocket boosters depending on exposed fuel area and burn depth. This worksheet has 2 problems to solve.

In these earth science worksheets student complete this project to model activity in the mantle, one Earth's four layers. The project includes liquid and powder materials in addition to several measuring components. Students must then...

Learners explore geometry by completing a math worksheet in class. In this shape identification lesson, students identify the characteristics associated with 15 solid geometric shapes. Learners identify patterns between vertices, edges...

Students measure water and make predictions about efficiency.

Solve word problems involving the volume of cylinders, spheres, and cones. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive hints.

Use Glencoe's Math Course 2 randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of how to find the volume of a cylinder. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This concept teaches students to calculate the surface area and volume of cylinders.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Use a formula to calculate the volume of cylinders.

This interactive exercise focuses on comparing volumes between figures that have the same height and diameter and drawing conclusions based on the ratios of the sizes.
