Second graders read the book, "Just a Little Bit" and work in groups weighing the same object with a scale. They then get a different unit of measurement, like paper clips, cotton balls, washers, or pennies and then figure out and record...

I would weigh less on the moon? Send me there, then! On the top of the first page, a cartoon image demonstrates the difference between Earth and the moon. It then goes on to describe weight and mass and provides five practice problems...

Seventh graders use their knowledge of multiplication and problem solving to determine the total weight of multiple objects. In this multiplication instructional activity, 7th graders weigh various manipulatives, record the weight, and...

Learners utilize a balance scale. In this applied science instructional activity, students compare the weights of two objects using an elementary balance scale. Learners balance the scale with weights to find how heavy an object is.

Angry Birds prepared them, but now pupils must prove their skills with projectiles! Scholars test different variables to determine which ones impact the distance the projectile flies. The experiment provides connections to kinetic and...

Students weigh and record the mass of various objects, and then compare the weights of objects by holding gram weights in one hand and the object in the other hand.

Students explore weight. For this math lesson, students predict which item weighs more and discuss how they arrived at their decision. Students weigh several items to determine which weighs more.

Third graders use a Slinky, rubber bands, paper, coins and cups to experiment with weight and its relationship to gravity. They discuss their results and develop a consensus on conclusion statements derived from their experiments.

Students explore fossils by participating in an in class experiment. In this archaeology lesson, students utilize dough and classroom objects to create fossil imprints after hiding the toy/fossil in the dough egg. Students categorize the...

Second graders discuss appropriate units of measure to use when weighing the contents of their desks. They use a scale to weigh different items from their desks. They write down weight in pounds and graph the results using an online...

Fifth graders build objects using various materials. They estimate the weight of the object using individual building pieces. Then they weigh the actual object and then tear it apart and weigh the pieces. They compare the two weights.

In this pounds and ounces instructional activity, students estimate the weights of 4 common objects. Students then weigh each object on a balance scale and record the weights.

In this pounds and ounces learning exercise, students find 4 objects that weigh more than 1 pound. Students write their names in the table. Students estimate the weight to the nearest pound. Students use a balance scale and a one pound...

In this inclined planes worksheet, students investigate the effort force needed to move a 1 kg weight up a ramp to different distances on the ramp. Students calculate the work input and output for each trial as well as the...

Weight, time, length, cost, and mass are all things we can measure. Learners are introduced to the concepts they'll need to know before embarking on any measurement adventure. They are introduced to each type of measurement and types of...

Students explore how an artist uses the force of gravity to create balance in a sculpture. In this sculpting lesson, students create their own sculpture applying concepts from the lesson.

In this exploring slope worksheet, students solve and complete 4 different problems. First, they compare an object's weight on Earth to an object's weight on another planet using the information given. Then, students compare this...

Students examine and discuss a variety of ways to measure length, capacity, and weight. They estimate and measure a pencil's length using Unifix cubes, estimate and fill a measuring cup with Unifix cubes, and weigh a calculator in a...

Upper graders experiment with measurement. They estimate the length, volume, and weight of various objects, then rotate through stations making predictions concerning measurements and then testing their predictions.

Third graders demonstrate that gravity is a force.

Sixth graders check to see how their weights differ if they weighed themselves on different planets. They record their findings on a data sheet.

Students learn how tools help us accomplish things. In this tool discovery instructional activity, students review the function of tools. They then make a class chart and categorize different types of tools found in the classroom....

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...

Young scholars study the historical figures and symbols of U.S. patriotism depicted on the penny, nickel, dime, and quarter coins. They create a balance scale from common materials to measure the approximate weight of a quarter.
