Students plant seeds and watch them sprout. Once growing plants are placed in different conditions and students record data about their growth. They graph the data.

Second graders read the book, "Just a Little Bit" and work in groups weighing the same object with a scale. They then get a different unit of measurement, like paper clips, cotton balls, washers, or pennies and then figure out and record...

Fourth graders measure cups, quarts, and liters.

Pupils compute the area of triangles in a computer program. For this measurement lesson plan, students complete 5 easy, 5 medium, and 5 hard problems.

Students measure and calculate heart rates per minute and for other units of time. They determine the amount of blood pumped by their heart during various intervals of time.

Students visit the following web site to find out the birth weights and lengths of polar bear cubs- Ask Jeeves for Kids. They then enter the information found at this site relating to the birth length and weight of polar bear cubs into a...

Students design and build a balance using LEGO, string, and a set of standard metric weights.

Students observe falling objects. They discover the rate of falling is based on air resistance and not the weight of the objects. They discuss how engineers use this type of information to design aerodynamic shapes.

Young scholars explore how pendulums work and why they are useful in everyday applications. In a hands-on activity, they experiment with string length, pendulum weight and angle of release.

Students explore the size of a kilometer and the time it takes to cover this distance. They develop a concept of a km. They measure a distance of 1 km and the time taken to cover it.

First graders use standard and non-standard tools to measure classroom objects. Partners compare data and responds to a journal prompt that provides application to real-world situations.

First graders use literature and hands-on activities with maps and globes to explain distance and tools used to measure distance. They select tools to measure various objects in the classroom, then apply those concepts to their map...

Third graders estimate the volume and mass of one marshmallow using appropriate standard units. They design and carry out an investigation to find the average of volume/mass of one marshmallow.

Students identify foods that are made from wheat. They use a line graph to explain measurement. They identify foods from the food groups and explain how temperature, prefcipitation and natural resources affect the growth of wheat.

First graders use nonstandard measurement to measure. After reading Inch by Inch, 1st graders pair measure leaves that they have collected. They glue their leaves onto tag board to make a display.

Learners estimate and accurately measure the size of angles communicate with the appropriate geometric terms and symbols to describe and name angles, lines, line segments, rays

Students collect and analyze data about wind speed. They build a Lego wind sail and measure the wind speed with a rotation sensor. They use software to analyze the data.

Fourth graders explore the different types of ways to measure the distance between Florida and Japan.

Third graders use a number of problem solving strategies in this unit of lessons. They determine how to draw and model three-dimensional objects, use co-ordinate systems, determine probability of events, and identify paths of simple...

Students find the percent composition of sugar in the gum. In this chemistry lesson plan, students calculate percent error from the experiment. They use dimensional analysis to convert between units.

Third graders examine the concept of work as the movement of an object through a distance. They define gravity and determine what type of work is caused by gravity. They measure how far an object is moved by a force. They make a...

In this math advertisement investigation worksheet, students research canoes, then make an add for a canoe using as many of the measurement units given as possible. Worksheet is part of the Houghton-Mifflin math series.

In this math worksheet, students look for the words in the puzzle that are related to the theme of measurement. Spelling skills are worked on.

Students create a mural that displays symbols for their home state. They complete worksheets and read a book about their state. They collect images of the state flower, tree and bird for the mural. There are 5 other lesson plans included...
