Combine mathematics and science to calculate measurements of unmeasurable materials. Individuals use knowledge of density and volume to determine the thickness of the film used in production. They also apply stoichiometry to...

Which materials are best for groundwater runoff, and which are best for percolation? Discuss the water table with several experiments about different types of soil, pollution, precipitation, and filtration. The experiments assign...

Assist your class with correctly calculating the values for force, work, and power as they determine the amount various activities require. They gather data and participate in a group discussion to compare results upon conclusion of the...

Fourth graders measure one centimeter cubed blocks to determine their size. They measure lines using a worksheet that is not included in the lesson. Next, they measure the area of figures on the sheet using the cubes in place of a ruler.

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

Students experience a positive science experiment and study fundamental concepts of measurement.

Third graders use rulers to measure their shoe size in inches and centimeters. They then enter the class shoe measurements into an excel data base and graph the results of both to make the comparison.

Third graders investigate the use of centimeters while measuring items with rulers which they construct. They examine the need for standard units of measure. They estimate the length of body parts before making the actual measurements.

In the process of constructing their own "rulers" Students develop a sense of the size of a centimeter and meter. Students select the appropriate "ruler" for the tasks. Finally, 3rd graders calculate the perimeter of objects using...

Learners use both standard and metric measurement. They compare and contrast standard to non-standard units of measurement.

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 review the concept of measuring length. In groups, they travel to various centers throughout the classroom. They experiment with using different objects to measure the length of items given to them by their teacher. They are...

Young scholars explore temperature and use Celcius thermometers to measure and graph the temperature in the classroom daily. They estimate what they think the temperature might be and then find the actual temperature in the room.

Students observe peanuts. In this observation lesson, students get a peanut and write down the distinguishable characteristics. They weigh and measure their peanut, then try to identify it when it is put in a group with the rest of the...

In this exploring metric units of length worksheet, students estimate, measure with paper clips, measure with centimeter and millimeter rulers, and convert centimeters to milliliters. Students write five answers.

Young scholars examine why having standardized units of measurement is important. They investigate the use of non-standard measure, twigs, while measuring the piece of tape. Next, they experiment with straws, paper clips, and rulers...

Fourth graders explore basic measurements by analyzing their own bodies. In this human anatomy lesson plan, 4th graders identify the units used to measure a human body such as centimeters, inches, ounces and pounds. Students complete a...

Students demonstrate measurement and estimation skills. In small groups, they are given a measurement, predict what object in the classroom is equal to that specific measurement, and record their data in a table that includes the...

A fabulous plan on teaching basic concepts of measurement to young learners. Pupils use nonstandard units to measure length, practice using a ruler and a yardstick, compare the length of two objects, and perform estimations of length....

Traveling through space is an amazing experience, but it definitely takes a toll on the body. After reading an article and watching a brief video, learners perform an experiment that simulates the effects of zero gravity on the...

Learners use grid boxes as a measurement tool and discover how grids are used for mapmaking and scaling down an area. They begin by attempting to draw a model shape drawn by the teacher by using the gridding process. At the conclusion of...

What is the difference between area and volume? Have your charges build models of square centimeters, square inches, square feet, square meters, etc. It's definitely challenging, but there is no better way to learn than by trying...

Fourth graders explore perimeters. In this measurement lesson, 4th graders examine example problems that highlight how to calculate the perimeters of rectangles in inches and centimeters. Students also practice solving problems that...

Fifth graders measure specified distances when given perpendicular lines. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders draw the lines themselves.
