Children can measure with a favorite character to understand the value of standardized units of measure, such as inches and feet. This activity will help them practice measuring and understand comparing the measurements of one item to...

Children use spatial skills to put together a map that has been broken up into pieces. This activity will help them understand spatial sense and practice using a map.

This multimedia Learn Alberta math resource looks at angles of a triangle in the context of building bikes and choosing bike sizes. The accompanying interactive component lets students explore build different sized triangles while...

Students learn about sound waves and use them to measure distances between objects. They explore how engineers incorporate ultrasound waves into medical sonogram devices and ocean sonar equipment. Students learn about properties, sources...

Students learn first-hand the relationship between force, area and pressure. They use a force sensor built from a LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT kit to measure the force required to break through a paper napkin. An interchangeable top at the end of...

Through investigating the nature, sources and level of noise produced in their environment, students are introduced to the concept of noise pollution. They learn about the undesirable and disturbing effects of noise and the resulting...

Student teams build model hand dynamometers used to measure grip strengths of people recovering from sports injuries. They use their models to measure how much force their classmates muscles are capable of producing, and analyze the data...

Using the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT kit, students construct experiments to measure the time it takes a free falling body to travel a specified distance. Students use the touch sensor, rotational sensor, and the NXT brick to measure the time of...

Students learn how volume, viscosity and slope are factors that affect the surface area that lava covers. Using clear transparency grids and liquid soap, students conduct experiments, make measurements and collect data. They also...

Students use watt meters to measure the power required and calculate energy used from various electrical devices and household appliances.

Students calculate the viscosity of various household fluids by measuring the amount of time it takes marble or steel balls to fall given distances through the liquids. They experience what viscosity means, and also practice using...

Students are introduced to the concept of light pollution by investigating the nature, sources and levels of light in their classroom environment. They learn about the adverse effects of artificial light and the resulting consequences on...

The learning activity explores measurement. Students measure their hand, arm, and fingernails. Then they use their body parts to measure additional items.

Students learn to explore relationships between units of measure and objects to be measured. They develop an understanding of length, area, and volume.

Students learn the conversion relationship between inches and centimeters through data collection. The data collected results from measuring items using inches and centimeters as the units. They use a TI-73 to input the data into lists...

Students will complete interactive activities to explore measurement of length, volume, capacity, time, and averages.

Activities for learning the meaning of capacity and volume.

An easy to do activity that investigates the basic principles behind chemical bonding. The activity is written in lesson plan format that meets NSES standards.

Investigate the cosine, sine, and tangent ratios of trigonometry using this interactive Learn Alberta math resource. Students will use these ratios to determine a right triangle's unknown side or angle. Be sure to follow the link to the...

This multimedia Learn Alberta math resource looks at area and perimeter and how math is involved in the operations of a ranch. The accompanying interactive component lets students investigate a variety of rectangles to get a target...

These five-day thematic, multimedia activity plans designed for afterschool programs can be implemented in just about 20 minutes each day. Practice and build math skills with PBS Kids Lab daily or weekly.

Dinosaur Train sparks children's interest in life science and natural history. As they explore a variety of animals, children develop the inquiry skills and knowledge needed to help them think, talk and act like paleontologists. Choose...

Read the die to find out what exercise to do and how many repetitions are needed, keep a running tally of rolls to see who gets the highest score.

This lesson plan offers an opportunity for students to learn to measure length by fractions of an inch, inches, feet, yards and also change one unit of length to another.
