Fill 'Er Up
Students identify how many smaller units can be found in a later unit. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and the transfer amount to a smaller unit. They solve real life problems using the formula for volume.
Curated OER
Unknown Liquids
Students must design and conduct an experiment to determine which unknown liquid has a greater density based on basic information about the liquids and containers. Students are given specific materials to work with.
Curated OER
Party Volumes: Measurement
Second graders explore liters and milliliters. They estimate volume and accurately measure the volume. Students plan a party and measure volume using liters and milliliters as part of the planning process.
Curated OER
Addendum to the Written Curriculum: Measuring Solids
Learners use standard rulers to measure the length of common classroom items - such as pencils, books, desk tops - in inches and centimeters, and measure weight in pounds. They also answer math questions, such as "How long is the front...
