Students compare graphs of their data that was generated on a NASA website.  For this seasons lesson students complete a lab activity. 

Embark on a year long investigation of the seasons with this 10-lesson earth science unit. After being introduced to different types of weather and the tools used to measure it, young scientists perform fun hands-on activities that...

Where did the pH scale come from? Take a deeper look at a most important measure of ion concentration using a simulated physical determination. Young chemists prepare a series of dilutions after determining a dilution factor for the...

Talk about a cool tool! Convert between units with the click of a mouse using a handy online resource. Enter the starting measurement and units for quantities such as torque, speed, and inertia, then sit back and relax while the computer...

How would a pendulum work on the moon or Jupiter? To answer that question scholars control up to two pendulums including their location, length, mass, and amplitude. Added controls include changing the friction and strength of gravity....

First graders investigate objects using rulers and magnifying glasses. They record their observations using a data-recording sheet and write a characteristic for each item they observe. They use the ruler to solve math problems.

Eleventh graders practice reading a basic blueprint for a closet. Using the blueprint, they identify the parts, measure and cut the wood and square a wall. They review safety procedures and use hand tools to attach a track to a cement...

Third graders use whole numbers and fractions to make connections between abstractions of the mathematical world and the real world. In this fractions and measurement lesson, 3rd graders identify, quantify groups , and measure distances....

Students study the metric system and examine other ways to measure.  For this measurement lesson students complete activities that help them to better understand the measuring system. 

Students investigate various common terms of measurement, sort them into categories, select the uncommon terms, and construct conversion tables for both the common and the uncommon terms of measurement.

Students explore measuring cups according to volume. In this capacity instructional activity, students investigate how to estimate volume to make a healthy snack. Students measure ingredients and prepare a snack.

Young scholars practice measuring items with non standard units. In this units lesson plan, students measure shapes, lengths, and classroom objects.

Fifth graders compare the relationship between meter in music and measurement in math. They practice sightreading music by determining the number of beats per measure, clapping and counting the rhythm.

In this online interactive math skills instructional activity, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems regarding capacity and measurement. Students may submit their answers to be scored.

First graders use various models to learn the Commutative Property of Addition. In this Commutative Property lesson, 1st graders use other students, counters, balances, and dominoes to apply the addition property. Students solve addition...

Students use a new tool to help them be more creative in designing their quilts. After watching a demonstration, they design their own color combinations and select the fabric for their quilt. They reiew the color wheel and warm and...

In this online math activity, students calculate the angles in a triangle given their measurements. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific...

In this online math learning exercise, students calculate the value of a variety of angles based on a geometric design. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into...

Learners develop an understanding of measurable attributes of circles; develop a formula to determine the circumference of circles. They approximate the value of pi.

Students recognize and follow the steps of the scientific method to complete an experiment.  In this scientific method lesson, students use inquiry tools to measure objects.  Students record their data.

Give pupils a ruler and this activity so that they can practice measuring down to the quarter inch! Drawings of six various objects are depicted for them to apply their measurement skills to. The assignment concludes with one...

Learners investigate the characteristics of wind. For this weather lesson, students use poetry and van Gogh's paintings to discuss the movement of wind. Learners are introduced to the Beaufort Scale and use the tool to measure the wind...

Third graders practice measuring items by examining classroom objects.  In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders utilize measuring tools to find the weight, time, length or temperature of specific classroom items.  Students predict...
