Students measure the relative heights of the mosaic giraffe and its trainer and compare their proportions to an actual giraffe and zoo trainer.

Students are introduced to the measurement of a meter. They measure and compare the height of different people in the class. Students classify the measurements into categories of tall, short, and average while conducting class discussion...

Fourth graders see how, when balls are dropped from the same height, mass and size affects the motion of the balls.

Young scholars apply their math and measuring skills to create "tree trunk" panels for their tropical rain forest. They use their recorded information to construct strips of paper that are correct height.

Third graders measure each other's height and find the mean, median, and mode for the height of students in their class. They line up tallest to shortest and discuss the most appropriate measure of central tendency for the class.

Students calculate the volumes of regularly shaped objects from measurements of their dimensions. They use several formulas and measure different objects to calculate the density, volume, and mass of the objects selected or assigned.

First graders measure a plant using unifix cubes and record their measurements on a class chart.

Seventh graders explore the concept of ratios and proportions. For this ratios and proportions lesson, 7th graders work in groups to measure their heights and their arm span. Students compare their height to their arm span. Students make...

Learners find the altitude of the Sun at 10 A.M., at solar noon, and at 2 P.M. by measuring the height of the gnomon and the length of the shadow at each time. They record the measurements in their notebooks for later conversion.

High schoolers calculate the ratio of the height of the body to the height of the navel. They discover that the ratios are all approximately equal.

Students discover how the coefficient of restitution is applied to sports by measuring the bounciness of a ball. After examining the mathematical equation that applies to coefficient of restitution, students go to the gym, measure the...

students identify and explore the connection between math and the bones of the human body. Students collect data about bones from their classmates and from adults, apply formulas that relate this data to a person's height, and organize...

Students design a "container" for his/her egg to determine whether the egg remain intact when dropped from a predetermined height.

Students explore measurements.

Student explore the challenge of building a tower using paper. They build their tower using paper and record the height of their tower. Students collect and record the heights of other towers and use that data to create a spreadsheet.

Young scholars practice measuring the height of redwood trees. On a group walk, they observe the height of various trees and identify the species. In groups, they use their geometry skills and other techniques to measure the tree and...

Seventh graders use previously completed graphs. They discuss what the graph tells them. They discuss height, and discuss the range of the class height. Students graph data of their height with a bar graph, and repeat with eye color.

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.

Learners measure, analyze, and compare the ancient Egyptian canon of proportions using a mummy, painted images, and photographs of people today.

Young scholars make and use observations of Laetoli footprints to provide clues to life in the past. They collect and analyze data to study the relationship between foot length and body height.

Seventh graders gather data to determine the relationships between the base and height of rectangles with fixed perimeters and express the relationships using words and symbols. Students build rectangles with pipe cleaners. They create...

Students use geometry or trigonometry to measure the distance of a far off point. They verify their measurements using a tape measure to check their work.

Students, through lecture and guided practice, discover the properties of similar triangles. They use given measurements of one triangle to find a missing measurement of a similar triangle. They apply this knowledge in real-life...

Eighth graders measure irregular and regular shaped solids.  In this investigative lesson students calculator volume, mass and density of wood and blocks.
