Young scholars explore one's lung capacity, the human body, displacing volume of water with volume of air and spirometer use. Using simple math, students figure out their lung capacity by breathing into a bottle filled with water and...

Young scholars measure various attributes of an orange. They discuss the attributes of an orange that can be measured, develop a list of attributes and describe how they can measure it, and rotate through four stations measuring the...

Students are introduced to Microsoft Word.

Students demonstrate how to use math skills to measure their lung capacity. In this human biology lesson plan, students use a clear plastic container, measuring cup and rubber balloons to demonstrate how the lungs work. Students estimate...

Students study data on the nutritional value of Burger King meals in order to discover its nutritional value and also to compare the meals, using mathematical computation, to the recommended daily diet. In this data handling lesson...

Students convert metric units of length, specifically meters, centimeters, and millimeters. In this lesson of converting measurements, students participate in various games which require them to put the measurements in order or convert...

Young scholars observe, measure, and record the properties in making objects stick together using science tools. In this science lesson, students explore with their senses while mixing flour and water. Additionally, young scholars share...

Young scholars explore the concept of equivalence as it relates to comparing concrete objects to determine greater or lesser attributes such as length and weight. In this pan balance-shapes lesson, students make estimations while...

In this measurement worksheet, students read a table of products sold in a vending machine and their metric capacities.  Students solve 6 word problems where they convert milliliters to liters and liters to milliliters. ...

A valuable resource provides a list of concepts that young chemists should grasp. The topics include energetics, kinetics, equilibria, redox reactions, and the halogen group. Employ this as a guide for your own curriculum planning, or a...

In this metric measurements of capacity activity, 4th graders subtract two given metric liquid measures, then use the answers to answer three more questions.

First graders explore number sense by participating in a measurement estimation activity. In this weight lesson, 1st graders discuss the differences between measurement units, both English and Metric. Students examine a loaf of bread to...

In this math worksheet, students examine a row of measurements in the metric system. Students put the measurements in order from the smallest to the largest. Included are weight, length and capacity; there is no U.S. standard measurement...

Third graders use nonstandard concrete methods to estimate and record measurements of their body.

Students design and conduct an experiment to test their ideas about how to speed up or slow down the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. They have access to an array of physical and chemical factors that might influence enzyme...

Students pour, label, streak, seal and store plates in an incubator. They identify areas in their environment that provide a rich fauna of microbes once they have been swabbed. They identify areas of contamination through a laboratory...

Fifth graders read the novel "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH." They discuss the various characters in the book, and the different types of conflict that take place within the book. They also research owls and rats to make comparisons...

In this mathematical worksheet, learners convert fifteen metric units of capacity and multiply and divide whole numbers by 10, 100 and 1000.

Students arrange containers by their capacity. For this volume lesson, students place containers in order by increasing capacity. Students discuss how the tallest container doesn't necessarily hold the largest amount.

Students conduct a series of investigation on latent heat of fusion. In this chemistry lesson, students explain how thermal storage systems work. They draw and interpret graphs.

Fifth graders examine patterns and relate to equations to solve math problems.  For this patterns lesson, 5th graders diagram, graph, use models and use tables to solve equations for real world problems.

Second graders use a meter tape to compare the length of the Mayflower to a basketball court and make homemade butter for crackers. Afterward, all students sit inside the makeshift Mayflower's dimensions and enjoy their Pilgrim butter.

Students use a variety of creative writing tools within this assignment: poems on particular organ systems, write a short story and/or create a word graph. They are involved in a demonstration of lactic build up in the muscles, a...

Young scholars conduct an experiment to evaluate whether plants need soil to survive and grow. They plant two seeds, one with soil and one without, make predictions, and record and analyze the seed germination results on a worksheet.
