Through ten lessons and numerous activities, students explore the natural universal rules engineers and physicists use to understand how things move and stay still. Together, these rules are called "mechanics." The study of mechanics is...

This lesson demonstrates how to use weight to determine the mass of an object. It is 1 of 2 in the series titled "Weight & Mass."

This site allows you to convert weight/mass measurements. For example converting tons to grams. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units

This lesson introduces the concept of weight. It is 1 of 7 in the series titled "Weight."

Grams, kilograms and tonnes are explained, and real life examples are given for each.

Read, brainstorm, drag objects, erase to reveal answers, and move weights on a balance scale to learn about forces, mass, gravity, weight, and balance in this activity created by SMART.

Using a Periodic table with a list of atomic weights for reference, practice figuring moles of 103 elements.

In this activity, students apply what they have learned about weighted averages, isotopes, and systems of equations to a new situation - coins in a sealed container. They learn some historical information regarding the composition of...

Whether studying health or physical education, this site explains the importance of lifestyle when trying to lose weight and get in shape.

This site, from the National Institute of Diabetes & Digestive & Kidney Diseases, provides statistics, charts, and links on the health issues related to being overweight. Great for research papers!
