[Free Registration/Login Required] In this lesson, students will generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch and show the data by making a line plot. This lesson includes an...

Work with students to identify and understand the tools used to measure weather and how they're used.

This is a great project for someone that is interested in both stargazing and photography. Bright city lights and even the light of the full moon obscure the dimmest stars, which can make identifying constellations more difficult. This...

Objects that glow in the dark hold a special place in the imagination of both children and adults. The lights go out at night, but these odd things refuse to disappear. Where does the light come from? Do they work in any climate? In this...

Given investigation quantitative data, students will determine its degree of precision and/or accuracy and causes for uncertainties in measured data.

In this science fair project, use a calorimeter with an attached heating element to measure how water responds to added thermal energy.

Today students will focus on the idea that measuring an object using different length units will result in different measurements.

Bill Murray called it "Baby Stepping" but today we will be student stepping. The students will measure 8 different lines using their own feet!

It's getting buggy! Students use unifix cubes as their non-standard measurement tool.

In order to pull small groups during math instruction, the rest of the students need engaging activities that they can complete independently. These centers allow students to practice a variety of math skills including measurement.

Too Tall Tina is a book about a student who is obsessed with being too tall. It shows examples of many measurement comparisons.

Measurements are very important for scientists. It is especially important that the measurements be accurate. Think about how important accuracy is when you want to know if you are taller than a friend of yours, every inch counts. In...

Fourth graders measure wind speed over the course of a week and graph the results.

Iron is an important mineral essential for good health. Iron deficiency can be a problem. In this science fair project, use a simple iron test kit to measure the concentration of iron in water. This experiement is explained clearly and...

This study guide for Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure," in addition to providing a summary of the text, gives character profiles and theme analyses. Also included is a brief biography of William Shakespeare.

Why are there two systems of measurement? How do we move between units in the same system? Students create and use foldables to convert measurement units.

Step-by-step instructions accompanied by illustrations that demonstrate how to use a protractor to draw angles and to measure angles.

This video lesson [2:15] will walk you through using a ruler to measure the distance between endpoints. It is 2 of 10 in the series titled "Measuring a Line Segment." Students can take a short review quiz when finished....
