Sixth graders record the weight of themselves and 3 family over a week, and then use that data to compile 2 bar graphs and 4 line graphs and answer a series of questions.

Young scholars determine the temperature of the water in a cup, measure the length of a piece of cardboard, and measure out an appropriate volume of water. This task assesses student's abilities to perform measurement and reporting skills.

Students use a balance and gram cubes to measure several different objects. They then record their results on a data chart and answer questions about them.

Students review the procedure for determining appropriate types of measurements for given situations and measurement conversions. They figure perimeter, area, and volume of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.

How do computers sort data lists? Using eight unknown weights and a balance scale, groups determine the order of the weights from lightest to heaviest. A second instructional activity provides the groups with other methods to order the...

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...

Physics learners studying force and acceleration practice solving eight problems with this assignment. They calculate acceleration and deceleration, net force, and distances required for stopping a moving object. Kinematics equations and...

When it comes to eating a balanced diet, portion control is paramount, but what is the difference between the serving size on the nutrition facts label and a portion as determined by the USDA? In a comprehensive look at portion control,...

Fourth graders investigate the weight/mass of a number of items using grams, and equivalents. They examine the use of a triple beam balance before massing objects including oil and water. They go over the weights they amassed and weigh...

For this math worksheet, students find the values of the six scales in pounds. They do this by practicing the reading of the gauges.

An interactive challenges mathematicians to round large numbers with help from a large scale that measures the weight of a blue whale. The practie's five questions include multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, true or false, and an open...

Students research the history of measurement in this lesson. They compare todays units of measurement to historical units of measurement. For example, they weigh themselves on a bathroom scale and figure out how many of them it would...

Students discuss situations when it is useful to know exact weight of object as opposed to estimated weight, estimate weight of various items, weigh them on scale using ounces and pounds, and compare their weights on Guess Your Best...

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 worksheet, students estimate the weights of 4 common objects. Students then weigh each object on a balance scale and record the weights.

Students determine where to buy the heaviest earthworms as they study invertebrates. They create a double bar graph of the results of the weight data.

Fifth graders study the sizes of pumpkins. They measure and record the diameters of pumpkins. They create five subtraction problems and solve them. They weigh their pumpkins, record the data and select two pumpkins to make a graph of...

Students compare and contrast the terms "weight" and "mass". In this physics activity, students observe an experiment in which objects are placed on a balance scale and weighed under different circumstances. Partners drop items and...

Students participate in a metric Olympics. For this metric measurement lesson, students participate in 6 events that require them to predict, estimate, and measure lengths, masses, and area in metric units.

For this balancing a scale worksheet, 3rd graders study and analyze a set of scales and determine how many mugs would be needed to balance the last scale in each set.

Students view the excerpt from NickNews entitled, "Winners and Losers." In groups, they categorize a variety of words and images relating to weight, healthy eating, and healthy lifestyle. They discuss adopting positive eating habits,...

First graders explore watermelons and collect and sort their seeds. In this watermelons lesson plan, 1st graders read the story Down By The Bay and then weigh, measure, collect seeds, sort, and eat their watermelon.

In this unique lesson students participate in a pumpkin seed experiment. Students interact with the pumpkins weight, seeds and record their findings of what lies within the pumpkin once the top of the pumpkin is cut off for observations....

The pupils are able to use a formula to calculate the volume of cuboids by measuring the length of each of the three dimensions. They also investigate the relationship between milliliters and cubic centimeters.
