Curated OER
Geometry - Measurement
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.
Curated OER
Castles
Students create a scale model to a castle using the dimensions they were given. They calculate the surface areas and volumes of each section of their castle.
Curated OER
Science: Water States
First graders investigate the various forms of water. They discuss the properties of water. They discover examples of water's various states and locate other solids, liquids, and gases in their homes.
Curated OER
Density Lab
Students use an Excel spreadsheet to calculate the density various liquids. They take pictures of their results.
Curated OER
The Great Volume Exchanger...or the Magic Matter Maker ®
Students pour water into a "magic" box and examine how it comes out with a much larger volume of water. They, working in small groups, design a volume exchanger and explain its design to the whole class.

PD-ROM 2.2: Our Quad Needs Sod (Ms. Ana England)
Students use formulas for common geometric shapes in order to solve a real-life, multi-step problem. They calculate material cost based on price/sq. unit.
Curated OER
Million Dollar Gift
Third graders create a box big enough to hold a million dollars. This is a project fun to do near the winter holidays with inexpensive gifts included in the boxes. This hands-on lesson plan very effectively demonstrates the concept of...
Curated OER
Conservation Station
Second graders, in groups, measure the volume of four containers that vary in shape and size.
Curated OER
Measurement
First graders participate in various activities dealing with measurement, length, volume, and temperature. They identify the need for standard units of measure, sort and classify objects, measure distances, and use a thermometer.
Curated OER
Temperature and Solubility
Pupils experiment to see how the solubility of a solid changes as water temperature changes. They graph the results of the solubility tests.
