High schoolers investigate the concept of measurement and using a ruler with accuracy up to 1/16 of an inch. They practice using measurement with a ruler in different contexts. To help with the presentation of the lesson a PowerPoint...

Students, in groups, measure and record each other's height. They identify measurement conversion methods and use online resources to convert measured heights to multiple systems.

Students identify and use descriptive writing and measurement terms to describe a student-created robot. Then they construct robots of materials available and then use AlphaSmarts or Danas to describe the robot using only the dimensions....

Fifth graders look at different ways to measure rice. In this rice measurement lesson, 5th graders see the metric and customary measurements. They discuss how rice is measured by length, area of the field, weight, volume and yield. 

Students measure and record weights and heights and compare to others in the class as they find out more about their bodies.

Students use formulas to design and create a table.  For this calculations lesson students create basal measuring tapes that will be used to measure woodlot stocking levels. 

Third graders, using technology tools, determine the total height of their classmates in both inches and centimeters. Once the measurements are taken, they enter the results in the Excel file. Once students have prepared a KidPix number...
