If shapes have the same area, do they always have the same perimeter? Learners explore the relationship between the area of square units and their perimeters in a hands-on activity. Observations are recorded, and they begin to recognize...

In addition to the catchy title, this lesson plan provides upper graders an opportunity to more closely scrutinize the attributes of plane figures. In particular, they focus on the similarity of different shapes. Both whole-class and...

In this chemistry review worksheet, students identify chemical changes, isotopes, ions, and chemical bonds. This worksheet has 32 multiple choice questions.

Get creative juices flowing when you allow groups to figure out a procedure for how to find the area of squares and rectangles. They may use the individual patchwork blocks, or they may design one using the Design Template.

Learners, in groups, receive a box of artifacts. They record their findings and discuss what the items would have been used for. They come together at the end of the lesson to share their findings.

Young scholars, in groups, estimate measurments and then select the tools needed and measure various items at Black Bayou Lake refuge.

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

In this metric worksheet, students examine conversion factors for length, mass, volume and area. Definitions of prefixes and metric abbreviations are identified.

Students discover patterns and write conjectures relating to perimeters and polygons. Working in cooperative learning groups, they use manipulatives and graphic organizers to solve problems then answer a series of questions in which they...

Second graders examine the properties of liquids and their classifications. They compare and contrast cups of different liquids and record their findings in journals. Students observe how liquids flow at various speeds and that unlike...

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 explore physics by conducting a class experiment. In this density lesson plan, students examine a list of items and discuss whether they will sink or float and then determine their density. Students examine the objects over five...

In this math worksheet, students solve six problems about 3D objects. Students also solve six problems about measuring 3D objects.

Students study about perimeter and the units used to measure perimeter using a variety of materials including their hands, feet, rulers, and computer applets. They understand such attributes as length, area, weight, volume, and size of...

Students design a rectangular box without a lid that has the largest possible volume using the supplied sheet of centimeter graph paper. They work in groups to construct different size boxes to determine the largest possible volume and...

Students pace a Gunther Chain, a measurement used by foresters to determine distance and area. They discuss that pacing is individualized depending on age, gender, etc. They practice to find an average pace. Teams estimate, pace and...

For this science of chemistry worksheet, students answer fifteen questions about units of measurement and abbreviations for prefixes in the metric system. In addition, students are given comparison measurements and determine which...

Students explore perimeter and area of regular and irregular polygons. They experiment with color squares and create different arrangements using the same number squares. Then they compare the area and perimeter measurements of each.

Seventh graders brainstorm about problems with a school track. They research different possibilities for a solution. They test different track materials with erosion, durability, abrasiveness and resiliency. They determine the area,...

Learners calculate the time difference between Beijing, China and their local community. They discuss how time difference affects intercultural communication.

Third graders describe an amount of turn from a particular position to another using the 'circular' benchmarks of 0, ++, ++, ++, and full turn. Estimation language such as 'just about', 'between', 'not quite', 'just over', and similar...

Students use Geometers SketchPad to find the area and perimeter of several shapes. For this geometry lesson, students determine area of rectangles and progress through irregular polygons. None of the referenced worksheets are included...

Students examine different types of chemical reactions. They explore how alcohol molecules affect the reaction rates. They answer discussion questions to end the instructional activity.

Students review the units of the metric system, convert from the US system of units of measure to the metric system, and estimate measures before converting between the two systems of measurement.
