On this interactive site students practice time and mass skills. By the end of the lesson students will be able to describe the mass of more than two objects and record the mass of three objects by lifting.

The Center for Mathematics and Science Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provides an interesting and easy-to-use dictionary of the history and meaning of many measurement terms. Metric, International, and...

It's hard enough to weigh something as itty bitty as atoms or molecules. Factor in that they're careening by faster than Jeff Gordon on steroids, and you get an idea what scientists are up against. Using comet particles from NASA's...

This site contains an extensive list of various units of measurement known internationally and across several disciplines. Unit symbols are also included.

This site examines the specific difference between mass and weight in addition to length, temperature, and time.

A collective which looks at mass and energy. Identify the forms of measurement and how to convert them as well as scientific notation. Practice application with homework problems.

This task challenges a student to use understanding of measurement to convert accurately between units of weight.

An introduction to the mole, a unit of measurement that quantifies atoms and molecules.

Students will use two different methods to determine the densities of a variety of materials and objects. The first method involves direct measurement of the volumes of objects that have simple geometric shapes, while the second uses the...

In this interactive lesson, learn what the "physical properties" of matter are and how can they be measured and observed.

For this activity, students measure the maximum slope at which grains are stable (the angle of repose). They explore how different properties of the sediment influence slope stability and lead to different slope failures (mass...

About how many cells are in the human body? The purpose of this task is for students to apply the concepts of mass, volume, and density in a real-world context. Aligns with G-MG.A.2.

Students will learn the concept of volume by determining the amount of sand that is needed to fill the long-jump pit at their school (or any rectangular- or square-shaped container). This lesson will explain the importance of knowing how...

By the end of this section, you will be able to do the following: Perform unit conversions in both SI and English units, Explain the most common prefixes of SI units, and be able to write them in scientific notation.
