Teams learn about the size of a nanometer by measuring objects and converting those measurements. A worksheet then tests the groups' abilities to use nanometers by having them determine the size of objects that are too small to...

Second graders participate in a review of how to use rulers and yard sticks while collecting measurement information. They measure assigned body parts and chart the data on collection sheets. They make a spreadsheet with the information...

Students measure a variety of objects using the appropriate measuring tool. In this measurement lesson plan, students explain the importance of accuracy and precision in collecting data. They discuss the difference between the two.

You don't need a scale to determine weight. This activity provides a way to use the concepts of air pressure and surface area to determine the weight of a vehicle by calculating the amount of weight each tire supports.

Explore the concept of measuring and recording circumference. For this physical science and measurement lesson, young learners blow up balloons, measure the circumference, and record the data on an interactive graphing website.

Could you reinvent the light bulb? Scholars tap into their inner Thomas Edisons to build a light bulb prototype out of a jar and some wires. They see how long the filament wire glows in the jar (batteries not included) to measure their...

Third graders, using technology tools, determine the total height of their classmates in both inches and centimeters. Once the measurements are taken, they enter the results in the Excel file. Once students have prepared a KidPix number...

Students investigate the best way to calculate the measurements of an area. In this geometry lesson, students relate a large circle to a cylinder and its measurements. They use PVC pipes to gain hands on experience as they calculate the...

Students explore measurement. They use appropriate units of measurement for different sized objects. Students collect their data and enter it into an Excel data base. They graph their findings and analyze their outcomes.

Using the Twist™ application, elementary schoolers design their dream room. They follow the prescribed steps to calculate width, length, perimeter, and surface area in order to create a 2-dimensional representation of their dream room...

Fifth graders study environmental changes by examining the annual rings of a cross-section of a tree trunk. They access websites to complete a worksheet on the parts of a tree. They count the annual rings on a tree slice while observing...

Stick this resource in the "Use" column. In the second installment of a six-part series, learners use glue sticks to demonstrate forces. Using glue sticks, instructors can demonstrate tension, compression, and torsion.

Learners investigate Mexican holiday celebrations and compare them to American Christmas holidays. They conduct a Mexican Christmas Scavenger Hunt. The lesson plan uses a streaming video in order to engage students in the main objectives.

Students evaluate the acceptable use of classroom space. The class participated in a brief lecture and discuss of floor plans and how they are used in architecture. Using graph paper, they create a scale drawing of the classroom...

Students practice using the different tools on the Sheet Metal toolbar. In this engineering lesson, students create a sketch given a set of procedures to follow.

Students, when given the name of a community, identify a food, a craft, a custom, language and music, unique to that community 100% of the time. They find similarities and differences between this community and their own in four...
