Getting the Job Done—Speed, Work, and Measurement Units
How do you convert from one measurement to another? Pupils use unit rates to convert measurements from one unit to another in the 21st segment in a 29-part series. They convert within the same system to solve length, capacity,...
Curated OER
Mass and Weight in the Metric System
Students weigh and record the mass of various objects, and then compare the weights of objects by holding gram weights in one hand and the object in the other hand.
Curated OER
MASS
Students distinguish between weight and mass. They examine how in oscillations of a mass against an elastic spring--in the absence of gravity, or in horizontal motion--the length of the oscillation period is proportional to the square...

Measurement Proficiency Review
In this measurement learning exercise, students identify the units of measurement, the instrument used to measure and the method used to measure weight, mass, density, volume and length. They also answer questions about measurements and...
Curated OER
Physics Rules and S.I. Units Game
For this physics rules worksheet, students complete questions and answers in order to review physics rules with each other. Students complete 26 questions.
Curated OER
Using Measurement in the Everyday World
Students use an appropriate unit of measure to measure an item in the classroom. They create a PowerPoint to demonstrate the measurement process. Pupils are divided into pairs. Students use a concept map to discuss the terms for...
