Students, after reading the Web page Thrust to Weight Ratio, use Range Games and the Air Page to complete the activity to answer questions about turbojet thrust to weight ratio.

In this matter worksheet, students unscramble 11 terms associated with the different forms of matter and how matter is measured.

In this work worksheet, students determine how much work or how much force is required to move objects of specific weight a certain distance. This worksheet has 10 problems to solve.

Students create an experiment in which they measure the speed of a wave and record the data in a graph. They work in small groups to write the procedure for the experiment and share it with another group for cross checking of the...

Students identify what mass is and how to measure an object with a balance in gram units. Students identify weight and how to measure with a spring scale in units of force. Students compare the masses of two objects by placing each on...

Students discover the basic concept of measuring.  In this mathematics relationship lesson, students identify length, volume, weight, time and area in order to measure different units.  Students measure items using different...

Students use a variety of measuring devices including a ruler, yardstick, and tape measure to accurately measure objects in inches, feet, and yards. They report on these measurements, both orally and in writing.

Students use the wrapper of a Hershey's Kiss to practice estimating, predicting and measuring. They measure with centimeter rulers.

Young scholars follow a math trail that has been created by the teacher. They follow the trail and answer math questions at stations along the way. They work in small groups to devise a math trail of their own which they share with...

Fourth graders measure to the nearest centimeter. They work together to create a portrait of themselves with an accurate measurement of their smile to the nearest centimeter. This is a creative way for students to explore centimeters.

Young scholars measure the mass, volume, length and area of various objects. They are assigned a letter. The task is assesses students' abilities to make simple observations and measurements.

In this metric units instructional activity, students learn to convert measurements using metric unit measurements. Students solve and convert six problems.

In this metric conversion activity, students solve 12 problems in which larger metric units are converted to smaller ones. Included are metric conversions of length and weight. No examples are provided.

In this direct and inverse variation worksheet, 9th graders solve 10 different problems that include various situations in variations. First, they find the constant of proportionality when given each variable measure. Then, students...

Eighth graders biew each volume container and discuss where they have seen them in their home, and how they have seen them used. They explore the different names of volume sizes and their equivalents towards one another. Students...

Pupils practice calculating the moment of inertia when discussing a skater and the position in which it is best to spin. After class discussion, students practice calculating inertia on their own.

Space scientists use water displacement to determine the mass of a cubic centimeter mini meteorite, and then use it as a small-scale representative of an asteroid. They figure out the orbital velocity of an asteroid. Then they use a...

Class members analyze the water content in soil samples by drying out the samples and taking measurements every minute until all the moisture is gone. Scholars compare the initial weight to the dried weight to calculate the percentage of...

Math word problems are the focus of this presentation. Learners view slides that have a variety of word problems on them. In addition to solving those problems, they are invited to make up similar problems on their own. The last slide...

A well-laid-out lesson plan, this can be used in an engineering, STEM, or physical science course. Laboratory groups design a structure using pasta and marshmallows, measure its height and weight, and then discover the load that it can...

Budding artists experiment with balance and movement as they learn about Alex Calder and his kinetic sculptures. They'll view several of Calder's pieces and review biographical information, then they'll work through the artistic process...

Triangles and prisms don't stand a chance when your learners use this handout full of the formulas they need to know about the different shapes. Area, volume, and surface formulas are all covered along with the standard measurement and...

If you have a rotating office chair in your classroom, you can have physics pupils participate in this simple, yet effective demonstration of angular momentum. One partner sits in the chair, arms outstretched, holding heavy weights. The...

An interactive challenges mathematicians to round large numbers with help from a large scale that measures the weight of a blue whale. The practie's five questions include multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, true or false, and an open...
