In this metric conversion instructional activity, students solve 12 problems in which larger units are converted to smaller units. Included are conversions of weight, distance and capacity. There are no hints or examples.

Students build a model of a suspension bridge and test the amount of weight it support. They identify different types of bridges: suspension, arch, girder, truss, cantilever, cable-stayed and moveable.

In this pounds and ounces worksheet, students estimate the weights of 4 common objects. Students then weigh each object on a balance scale and record the weights.

Students confirm the law of conservation of matter by weighing chewing gum before and after it is chewed.

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

Learners 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 compare and contrast the terms "weight" and "mass". In this physics activity, students observe an experiment in which objects are placed on a balance scale and weighed under different circumstances. Partners drop items and...

Students participate in a metric Olympics. In this metric measurement lesson, students participate in 6 events that require them to predict, estimate, and measure lengths, masses, and area in metric units.

Learners explore math functions by completing math equation worksheets. In this inequality lesson, students define a list of math terms and discuss the difference between an equation and inequality. Learners utilize a real life situation...

Young scholars, in groups, estimate and check the weights of classroom objects using coins as the standard of measure.

In this science worksheet, students complete a paragraph using 15 given terms. For example, "How can a spring be used to measure force?"

For this space worksheet, students complete each of the statements related to weight on the moon. Then they create three questions that could be answered after completing the lab activity.

Students view the excerpt from NickNews entitled, "Winners and Losers." In groups, they categorize a variety of words and images relating to weight, healthy eating, and healthy lifestyle. They discuss adopting positive eating habits,...

Students determine how the weights of 7 objects on a seesaw can vary and still be in balance. They also write equations in algebraic terms, how to change 3 variables in an equation expressed in algebraic terms to obtain the correct...

Students create their own balance to determine a difference in the weight (and composition) of cents made in different years.

Students identify Newton's Laws of Motion. They students explore Newton's Laws of Motion and apply the second law with a classroom activity. The videos will provide visual examples of the effects of gravity while riding on a roller coaster.

For this measurements worksheet, students review how metric conversions work and the prefixes associated with the conversions. Then students complete 27 problems, 1 short answer, 14 matching, and 7 fill in the blank questions.

Students explore the societal stigma that accompanies people who are overweight. In addition, students research current medical thinking on "ideal weight" and identify how the perception of body image can lead to eating disorders.

First graders study and define matter. They observe and identify states of matter along with common attributes and study how matter can change form or change its state depending on temperature.

Students explore bridges and how they are constructed. After reviewing materials on bridges, they work in groups to record their findings. They design and construct a bridge using K'NEX or straws and predict which bridge will hold the...

In this mathematical worksheet, students estimate and predict the height, stem length, diameter, circumference and weight of five pumpkins against their actual measurements.

Pupils participate in a paper folding activity that has them create a ruler for measuring to the closest 1/16th of an inch.

Pupils investigate various common terms of measurement, sort them into categories, select the uncommon terms, and construct conversion tables for both the common and the uncommon terms of measurement.

Third graders measure their feet and their parents' feet, record data on computer-generated graphs, and calculate and record mean, median, and mode.
