Ideal for your electricity unit, especially with middle schoolers, this lesson plan gets engineers using multimeters in electrical circuits to explore the relationships among voltage, current, and resistance. Older learners may even plot...

Several times throughout history, groups of soldiers marching in rhythm across a suspension bridge have caused it to collapse. Scholars experiment with pendulums, resonance, and force to determine why this would happen. First, pupils...

Address key vocabulary in the seventh grade Common Core Math Standards with this comprehensive list. A series of word cards is also provided that supports each term with images and examples, making this an excellent tool for teaching the...

A couple PowerPoint presentations are used to stimulate discussion about the perspectives of different countries on the issue of energy consumption. Afterward, they play a game in which each team is assigned a country, considers its...

Delve into the hard numbers and fundamental concept of income inequality in the United States, using graphs, detailed reading materials, and an organized learning exercise.

Physics stars design mobiles that demonstrate rotational equilibrium. They take measurements and solve related equations for force by graphing, substitution, or determinants. This is a well-developed lesson plan, complete with student...

Using helium as an example of propane, physical science middle schoolers experiment with and graph the relationship between temperature and volume in gases. In a whole-class demonstration, they show how molecules behave under different...

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...

First graders measure 10 different objects found in the classroom, including their own hands and feet, then record their findings. This is a fun lesson for students to experience measurement using a ruler and unifix cubes.

Help your young scientists learn which materials are affected by magnetic fields with an activity that presents the information about different types of materials — diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic — and their interaction...

In this measuring worksheet, students will estimate the weight of 10 objects and record information in grams and kilograms. Then students will weigh the objects and record the actual weight to complete a table.

Read Pancakes for Breakfast by Tomi De Paola then participate in different activities which practice skills such as English language development, using non-standard measurement, fine motor skills, dramatic play, and using our five senses.

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

Students identify the standard deviation. In this statistics lesson, students find the mean distribution and calculate the percent of deviation from the mean. They observe this change on the Ti calculator.

Second graders turn into measuring maniacs with this activity! With real world objects, 2nd graders practice measuring accurately to the nearest inch and centimeter. After a lecture/demo, students practice with a worksheet imbedded in...

In this math instructional activity, students find the measurements of the angles in degrees. Then they determine which ones are in Standard Position.

Students measure using tools they have made. In this algebra lesson, students measure the height and distance using non-traditional measuring methods. They apply their findings to algebra and trigonometry properties of measurements.

Third graders find the perimeter of a polygon. In this measurement lesson, 3rd graders use yardsticks to measure straight-lined objects to the nearest 1/2 inch. Student choose a "mystery object," find the perimeter, and record it on the...

Third graders engage in a lesson that is concerned with the estimate and approximation of different masses. They weigh different objects and compare the different measurements and then use a balance to compare them. Students define the...

In this math worksheet, students learn to measure common classroom objects or body parts using a standard inches ruler and a centimeter ruler. Students measure 21 objects in both ways.

First graders practice nonstandard measurement and estimating and measuring lengths of objects.

Students gather and analyze data from sports teams. In this measures of central tendency lesson, students gather information from websites about sports team performance. Students analyze and draw conclusions from this data. This lesson...

Beginning biologists explore passive transport through two demonstrations and a hands-on inquiry. Spray air freshener from one spot in the classroom and have class members raise their hands as the scent reaches them. Also, place a teabag...

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...
