Students measure the length, width and height of different materials.  In this design instructional activity students complete a lab to see what engineers need to consider when planning a structure.

In this moles activity, students read about mole and learn how to calculate the number of moles in specific mass of compounds. This activity has 14 problems to solve.

Young scholars determine the mass of various objects. In this integrated math and science lesson, students use an arm balance to compare a known object to a combination of washers with a fixed weight. Young scholars record data,...

Using a table, students solve 12 word problems about the weights of various foods at the grocery store. The solve addition and subtraction problems as well as convert kilograms to grams.

Prove the Law of Conservation of Mass through a lab investigation. A well-designed lesson asks groups to combine materials and monitor indicators for chemical reactions. Measuring the mass of the reactants and products allows individuals...

Investigate the Law of Conservation of Mass through a lab exploration. Individuals combine materials to initiate chemical reactions. They monitor for signs of reactions and measure the masses before and after the reactions for...

In this measurement worksheet, students locate and identify various vocabulary terms related to mathematics. There are ten words/phrases located in the puzzle.

In this basic mathematics worksheet, learners locate and identify various vocabulary terms related to measurement. There are ten words/phrases located in the puzzle.

Some consider physics the branch of science concerned with using long and complicated formulas to describe how a ball rolls. This presentation, while long, is not complicated, yet it covers rolling, falling, and more. It compares vectors...

Students estimate the measurement in centimeters for common classroom objects. They check their estimations, discuss the differences and write a paragraph summarizing the activity.

The Law of Conservation of Matter can be complex for young scientists to fully grasp. Use this experiment to help simplify the process as pupils perform two experiments to determine mass: one that melts a substance and the other that...

Stop and drop what is in your hand! Pupils investigate how form effects drag in the 12th part of a 22-part unit on aviation. Groups create equally weighted objects and determine which one falls the fastest by collecting data.

Whatever floats your boat. Young engineers learn about density by measuring the masses and volumes of boxes filled with different materials. Using their knowledge of densities, they hypothesize whether objects with given densities will...

Get into the swing of things. Pupils use a pendulum to demonstrate the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy and back. After measuring the speed of a pendulum and compare it to the calculated theoretical speed, they...

Model and explore osmosis using squash and potatoes. Young scientists expose chunks of potatoes to different concentrations of a squash solution. They compare the weights of the chunks before and after exposure to the solution and use...

Students construct the Metric Pyramid from the handout. They use the Metric Pyramid to convert from standard to metric measure and vice versa. They compute their own Body Mass Index.

In this body fat measurement worksheet, students will conduct an experiment to determine how the "under-water weighing" technique of measuring body fat works. Once the experiment is complete, students will complete 1 short answer question.

Students explore the measurements of capacity by constructing a creative project in the shape of a man. The man has body parts that represent different units of measurement and can be used to make conversions. This is highly concrete and...

Young scholars review estimation, measurement, fractions, decimals while familiarizing themselves with a new classroom at the beginning of the year.

Young scholars explore the concept of weight and mass and the importance of units. Using a balance, they determine the weight of various objects in the unit of "pebbles" and in grams.

Young scholars calculate their BMI and compare it to a healthy weight chart.  In this health lesson, students compare the perception of overweight with healthy weight charts. Young scholars interpret collected data and evaluate...

Students investigate where a new element would be located on the periodic table. In this isotope instructional activity, students find the mass of a new element, people mass. This number will be entered onto the periodic table of...

Students identify what mass is and how to measure an object with a balance in gram units. Students identify weight and how to measure with a spring scale in units of force. Students compare the masses of two objects by placing each on...

For this gravity worksheet, students determine how much they would weigh on the different planets. Students calculate how far they could jump on other planets. This worksheet has 2 graphic organizers and 6 short answer questions.
