Math comes alive in this interactive lesson, which prompts students to weigh small classroom-available items (erasers, pencils, rulers) as well as more obscure items that would need to be provided (a basket, a small toy car). Students...

In this earth and beyond worksheet, students answer short answer questions about the atmosphere, the chemical compounds in Earth's atmosphere. Students visit different websites to conduct research of the discoveries of the scientist who...

In this matter worksheet, students unscramble 11 terms associated with the different forms of matter and how matter is measured.

In this fingerprint activity learners complete a activity on their physical attributes and place their fingerprints on the paper. 

Students explain the principles of flight. In this physics instructional activity, students perform a series of exploration activity on Bernoulli's principle. They relate this principle to airplane flight.

In this word problems worksheet, students solve and complete 7 different word problems. First, they determine how long it takes a worker bee to complete a trip from her colony to a pollen and nectar source. Then, students find the number...

Students participate in static and dynamic activities to develop muscle strength and balance. Free weights are used to work on shoulder, bicep, and tricep muscles. Locomotor skills of hopping, jumping, leaping, skipping, and galloping...

Second graders find the net weight of a grocery item by weighing it with the tear. For this weight measurement lesson, 2nd graders bring in cans of food and watch a video about weight measurement. Students review the meanings of gross,...

In this tons and pounds worksheet, students research the weight of 5 vehicles and record the tons in a chart, then multiply to find the weight in pounds. Students also answer an additional 3 related questions.

Fourth graders use Unifix cubes to estimate standard measurements of length, weight, and capacity. After practicing, 4th graders complete an individual assessment by the teacher where they are asked questions about measurement and...

Students build a model of a bridge and test the amount of weight it support. They identify different types of bridges: suspension, arch, girder, truss, cantilever, cable-stayed and moveable.

Students explore estimation. They estimate distance, weight, temperature and elapsed time. Students record their estimates and justify their estimations wtih a written response. After estimating, students take the actual measurements of...

Seventh graders determine the center of gravity of an object. They get card stock objects to balance on pencil eraser and a meter stick to balance with same # of weighted string(s) on each side. They get meter stick to balance with...

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...

Students are told that the weight of a car is equal to its mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. When a car is at react on a horizontal road, there must be a normal force with which the road pushes up on the car to keep it...

Eighth graders identify and label the primary and secondary muscles used to perform an exercise. Students perform an exercise on a weight machine to figure out which muscles are being used. Students illustrate the muscles used by...

Students explore how the Michigan Avenue Bridge works and the importance of it being perfectly balanced. They make a model of a bascule trunnion bridge and balance their bridge by calculating the weight of the necessary counter weight.

In this problem solving worksheet, students will put the 7 steps to problem solving in a logical order. Then students will design a hypothetical study comparing a person's weight on Earth with his weight on Mars and complete 3 short...

For this Woodland math facts worksheet, students study and examine woodland weights of trees and shrubs, explore invertebrates and draw a bar chart to chart their findings.

Students determine the ground clearance of CEENBoTs by adding weights. In this physics lesson, students explore the compression and extension of different springs. They cite real world applications of Hooke's Law.

Learners investigate the force of compression and how it acts on structural components through a hands-on group project. They use everyday products such as paper, toothpicks, and tape to construct a structure that will support the...

Students explore weight by building a spring scale and observing how it responds to objects with different masses. Each team of students can make their own spring scale by following steps which are specifically outlined in the plan. As...

For this scatter plots worksheet, students solve and complete 6 different problems. First, they create a scatter plot to illustrate how weight and height are related and determine their relationship as positive, negative or no relation....

In this springs activity, students use rubber bands, tape, clamps, and more to make springs and experiment with the weight it takes to stretch the spring. Students follow 7 directions and answer 1 question.
