Here is a instructional activity that rocks! Young scientists choose a rock and list words that describe it. They estimate the mass of their rocks and rank them within a group. They measure their rocks for volume and write a story that...

Students analyze cloud cover and to compose written conclusions to a given related scenario. They submit a letter of response and a report detailing their calculations and conclusions.

Students perform an experiment according to the scientific method. In this scientific method lesson, students determine how water affects the size of a gummy bear.

Students compare estimated lengths with actual lengths.

What makes a good best-fit line? In the 10th part of a 16-part module, scholars learn how to analyze trend lines to choose the best fit, and to write equations for best-fit lines to make predictions.

In this math worksheet, students examine the two springs with spring constants k1 and k2 are attached to a block of mass m. They show the frequency of the oscillations on the frictionless surface.

Young scholars calculate the length, width, height, perimeter, area, volume, surface area, angle measures or sums of angle measures of common geometric figures. They create an equation of a line of best fit from a set of ordered...

Young scholars measure various attributes of an orange. They discuss the attributes of an orange that can be measured, develop a list of attributes and describe how they can measure it, and rotate through four stations measuring the...

Students construct using Cabri software. In this geometry lesson, students convert between units and apply the correct measurements to build objects. They create the room virtually and manipulate the shapes to the desired measurements.

In this metric conversion worksheet, students convert a total of 200 measurements to units indicated. Problems appear 20 per page, 10 pages plus answers. A website reference for additional resources is provided.

In this metric conversion worksheet, students convert a set of 30 measurements. An answer key and reference website for additional resources are given.

In this math worksheet, students use the theory of quantum mechanics to determine the relative position of objects and how motion could affect them.

Students complete five center activities that in order to determine the attributes of length and area. They study the vocabulary associated with measurement of length and area. They use blocks, play dough, wrapping paper, and footprints...

Students decide what body measurements they need to make garments such as a pair of pants. They make a list, and work with a partner to take and record those measurements in centimeters. They discuss the use of centimeters.

Fifth graders examine patterns and relate to equations to solve math problems.  For this patterns lesson, 5th graders diagram, graph, use models and use tables to solve equations for real world problems.

Students analyze graphs to determine relationships between variables and rates of change. They determine the basic concepts about static reaction forces. They determine the slope and equation of a line.

In this modeling the Keeling Curve activity, students use given data beginning in 1960 to create a mathematical model for the changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide over time. Students manipulate the equation to predict the carbon dioxide...
