Dino Long Legs

Young scholars calculate the speed and length of parts of the robot. In this algebra lesson, students measure the length of robots legs. They calculate the time it takes the robot to travel a specific distance.

Use this converting units of length worksheet to have your charges fill out a table, find the perimeters to three shapes and calculate the answers to three word problems.

One step at a time, pupils practice their measurement techniques as they analyze their stride length. They design their own procedures for measuring and relate their stride measurements to the distance traveled by making calculations.

Students discuss the many different types of animal signs that can be used to identify and track animals. They participate in an hands-on activity in which they examine tracks, trails, homes, territory markings, and even "scat" left by...

A fossil is worth a thousand words! Individuals craft their own amber fossil of an insect in addition to molds and casts of seashells. A third activity takes the lesson a notch higher: Learners measure stride lengths between tracks and...

It's 268 words, but one only needs to consider 10 of them at a time. A data collection and analysis activity has learners investigate the lengths of words in the Gettysburg Address. They first self-select a sample of 10 words and...

A right triangle. Two given measurements for two side lengths and one unknown length. Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem and find the missing value. Squares and square roots are used in this problem and don't worry when...

Lobsters never stop growing and one lived to be almost four feet long. The Shape of Life series focuses on the body plan of lobsters including their growth patterns. It discusses the legs, appendages, and body segments as they appear...

Learners determine the relationship between bone length and height. In groups, they are told the race and gender of the individual and discuss how this affects height. They measure the lengths of the bones in metric measurements and...
