In this gravity worksheet, students will compare the difference between mass and weight and the unit of measurement used for weight and mass. Then students will compare the weight of objects on the Earth and on other planets. This...

Students use calculator and non-calculator methods for analyzing data. They apply data collection and analysis in a study of mass and weight. Students enhance and apply the concept of line of best fit. They master graphing in a plane,...

Students experiment to find which liquids are more dense.  In this density and mass lesson, students predict and then test objects to observe and measure their density. students observe which items sink and float. Students complete...

Students use an appropriate unit of measure to measure an item in the classroom. They create a PowerPoint to demonstrate the measurement process. Pupils are divided into pairs. Students use a concept map to discuss the terms for...

Young scholars experiment with a variety of liquids to calculate density. In this integrated science and math lesson plan, students listen to a story in which the characters must prove and explain why 5 "mystery" liquids react in a...

Students role play as paleontologists who make inferences about the weight of dinosaurs. They use models and the density of water to make these inferences.

Third graders practice measuring different objects. They discover the concepts of ratio and proportion and practice converting numbers into the correct unit. They read stories as well to help them with the concepts.

Students discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...

Can you feel the weight of the air on your shoulders? Your classes may not believe that air has weight. A straightforward experiment asks individuals to weigh a bottle before and after adding air. Their results may surprise them!

Slide books with a little assistance from Newton. Using books, groups create a demonstration of Newton's Second Law of motion. Pupils compare the distance traveled by one and two books when they apply a force to them.

What's the moral of this story? Units save lives! Teach measurement conversion through storytelling in a quick math-based lesson. Young scientists learn how one country's decision to swap from imperial to metric standard units caused an...

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.

First graders measure weight and capacity. In this measurement lesson plan, 1st graders explore visual examples of weight and capacity comparisons. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Sixth graders practice weight conversions in grams. In this conversion lesson, 6th graders convert weights from kilograms all the way to milligrams. They complete word problems with grams of rice. 

In this mass worksheet, learners fill out a two column notes sheet about mass. Students fill in short answers for 17 places in the notes sheet.

Students discover how units of measurement help people to categorize objects. For this measurement lesson, students discuss various units of measurement, use creativity to invent new possible units of measure, and learn the history of...

In this online interactive math skills instructional activity, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems regarding metric and customary measurement. Students may view the correct answers.

Students watch experiments to define gravity and what gravity's function. In this gravity lesson, students watch video segments about experiments conducted with two objects to see what gravity does with different masses.  

Learners explore characteristics of mass. In this scientific inquiry about mass lesson, students drop rocks of different weights from various heights and record the depth of the "crater" created.  Learners record their findings on a...

First-time physicists experiment with pendulums in this physics lesson. They vary the weight of the bob, record how long each takes to complete ten period swings, and then calculate the time for one period. They repeat the procedure,...

If a car gets heavier, it goes farther? By running an activity several times, teams experience Newton's Second Law of Motion. The teams vary the amount of weight they catapult off a wooden block car and record the distance the...

Young scholars take personal fitness inventories. In this personal health lesson plan, students take measurements of their heights and weights. Young scholars record the data, calculate their BMI, and then chart their physical...

Explore the use of non-standard units for measuring volume with elementary learners. They fill a container and count the number used using cups, spoons, and bottles, build with blocks and count the number of blocks used, and compare and...

Student identify the three stationary positions, on the Earth, on the Moon, and in a house floating atop the cloud layers of Jupiter. They also identify the three orbiting positions, orbiting the Earth, orbiting the Moon, and orbiting...
