Quantity Analysis Teacher Resources

In this conversions instructional activity, students use dimensional analysis to convert from one metric unit to another and from the English system of measurement to the metric system.

Science students apply dimensional analysis to relate quantities in six different problems. They consider the cost of steak, a young man's growth rate, a medicine prescription, fuel efficiency, and more. This activity is a great way to...

Convey to your pupils the importance of units, then show how to use dimensional analysis to perform a unit conversion. The math lesson includes detailed worked-out solutions to guide learners in their practice.

Time to discover a new dimension—dimensional analysis that is. After discussing the need for dimensional analysis, the video lesson describes the process by giving a general setup. The instructor then demonstrates examples in both...

If you will be teaching dimensional analysis in your chemistry course, this activity will provide problems for your pupils to practice solving. It is a compact activity consisting of only four questions, however, they are applicable to...

In this dimensional analysis worksheet, students solve nine problems by converting form one metric unit to another and converting from the English system to the metric system using the process of dimensional analysis.

Is your class in another dimension with regards to dimensional analysis? Give them some extra practice with a straightforward activity. Learners convert units by following concise step-wise examples, including setting up the problems....

While some branches of science refer to it as dimensional analysis and others as unit conversions, both terms mean the same thing. Socratica presents a video explaining the basics of this topic discussing inches-to-feet conversion as...

Who knew that the Egyptian, Julian, and Gregorian year were different lengths? Your mathematicians will! They will have to calculate the difference between the years in seconds and find the percent change. Using dimensional analysis,...

In this dimensional analysis worksheet, students convert numbers from scientific notation to standard notation and from standard notation to scientific notation. They indicate the number of significant figures. They convert from one...

In this science and engineering worksheet, students use dimensional analysis to solve each of the problems stated on the sheet. They illustrate their work and how they arrived at their answers by using significant figures for their final...

In this time problems and dimensional analysis activity, students convert 10 problems from one unit of measurement to another using the process of dimensional analysis. They use conversion factors to solve for the unknown units.

In this dimensional analysis worksheet, students solve ten conversion problems where they find moles, mass, and molecules using dimensional analysis.

In this unit factor and dimensional analysis worksheet, students read about how to convert from one unit to another using unit factors and how to work with square units and cubic units using dimensional analysis. They practice solving...

Students complete an activity and make "provable estimates."  In this dimensional analysis lesson students use dimensional analysis and complete an activity. 

If you know how much carbon dioxide you produce in one breath, can you figure out how much you produce in one month? Socratica helps solve multi-step unit conversion problems. The video walks through how to set up these challenges and...

Four balanced chemical equations are presented for your pupils to analyze. They identify limiting reagents and use dimensional analysis to compute products. This practical worksheet is one that you will want to keep in your repertoire to...

In this metric units activity, learners convert measurements from one metric unit to another using dimensional analysis. They must show their work to receive credit.

In this mathematics worksheet, students apply dimensional analysis to solving each problem. They identify the conversion factor and describe a unique characteristic of a conversion factor. Students also identify the unit in the final...

In this dimensional analysis learning exercise, learners solve four problems using dimensional analysis to solve for moles and masses of products.

In this dimensional analysis worksheet, students convert made up unit to other units using dimensional analysis. They are given conversion factors for the units.

In this problem solving learning exercise, learners use dimensional analysis and show their work to find unknowns in problems. They calculate molecules, days to earn money, growth per day and quantities of items purchased at certain prices.

In this dimensional analysis worksheet, students use dimensional analysis to solve given problems. They convert units of measure within the metric system. This two-page worksheet contains 16 problems.
