Students practice gathering, averaging, and graphing data. They practice converting measurements to the metric system. Students graph their results and present them to the class.

Students problem-solve how to log five acres. Working in pairs, they construct models of logging sites before and after the trees are harvested. they paint their models and include other environmental details.

Second graders were given a research paper and they were to answer the questions using the information found on the website. The website was a dictionary where the students would click on the letter to where they would go to find the...

Tenth graders organize and interpret data from a student health program.  In this physical education lesson, 10th graders use a body composition analyzer over 8 weeks to determine the validity of a student health program. ...

Class members participate in a discussion, read a newspaper article, and participate in activities meant to open their eyes to the problem of obesity in the US. There are resource links, electronic worksheets, and teacher's notes to help...

Can you tell how tall someone is just by looking at their feet? In this activity, young mathematicians measure their height, arm span, and foot size, graph their findings, and answer questions about how these measurements are related....

Quiz the class on which unit of measure would be most appropriate when determining the weight, volume, height, or distance of eight different objects. This quiz reviews liters, kilometers, milligrams, and centimeters. 

Students collect data from an experiment they perform. In this data lesson, students use multiple representations to solve practical problems; describe advantages and disadvantages of the use of each representation. Then, they evaluate...

In this statistics worksheet, students solve 5 frequency problems. In four of the problems, the frequency table is provided and students construct one relative frequency table, one cumulative frequency table, and two cumulative relative...

For this science of chemistry worksheet, students answer fifteen questions about units of measurement and abbreviations for prefixes in the metric system. In addition, students are given comparison measurements and determine which...

In this science activity, 5th graders complete multiple choice questions about flight, astronomers, measurement, temperature, and more. Students complete 25 questions.

Which of these is the best tool for the job? Learners examine a measurement scenario and determine which of five tools would be the right choice. There is only one problem, and the worksheet includes pictures. Because the answer is...

Class members explore how to read and use histograms by watching a video on creating and analyzing histograms. To finish, the class works on a set of questions that tests these skills.

In this math review for grade 2 (2.3) worksheet, 2nd graders answer 25 multiple choice questions in standardized test format about measurement and geometric shapes.

Sixth graders simulate the creation of impact craters on Mars.Through the creation of model surfaces, the effects of an impacting object's mass, velocity and size are determined, and the features of the resulting crater are identified.

Eighth graders use a meter stick that is placed on a horizontal surface and an object is moved along it so that the shadow length can be measured at different distances from the light source. They solve real-world problems involving...

Pupils stack several different colored marshmallows-one on top of the other-in the tall cylindrical container. They ct a cardboard disk to fit snugly inside of the container on top of the marshmallow stack using a compass if necessary....

Students explain how drag, weight, lift and thrust work together to make something fly. In this physics lesson, students measure their jump height and record data on the table. They reason out why they can't remain airborne for long.

Students explore the craters that objects of different sizes and weights make. They use marbles, Ping-Pong balls, and aluminum-foil balls for this experiment. They investigate what would happen if they drop objects that aren't round.

Students graph the varying sizes of dinosaurs.  In this math and dinosaur lesson, students view dinosaur models and compare the different shapes and sizes of the dinosaurs.  Students complete a dinosaur math activity, read The...

Students construct the Metric Pyramid from the handout. They use the Metric Pyramid to convert from standard to metric measure and vice versa. They compute their own Body Mass Index.

Learners design and construct a tower out of newspaper using a limited supply of newspaper, tape, and scissors. After completing their designs, they identify which designs can withstand the self-weight of the newspaper tower as well as...

In this scatterplots worksheet, students look at 4 graphs and determine the correlation between the data. Students then review 8 scenarios and decided the type of correlation.

Students will use everyday items and speeds to describe the dimensions of a massive flood that occurred in the Pacific Northwest near the end of the last ice age.
