High schoolers circulate through stations to determine the proper instrument to make a certain type of measurement. They must make measurements of mass, volume, length, area, electrical current, temperature and force.

In this unit of measurement worksheet, middle schoolers identify the symbols for the metric units of measurement. They write the appropriate unit of measurement for eight statements and they solve three density problems.

Students discover how units of measurement help people to categorize objects. For this measurement lesson, students discuss various units of measurement, use creativity to invent new possible units of measure, and learn the history of...

Students use an appropriate unit of measure to measure an item in the classroom. They create a PowerPoint to demonstrate the measurement process. Pupils are divided into pairs. Students use a concept map to discuss the terms for...

Ten questions regarding volume of rectangular prisms are presented to your geometers, most of them requiring the multiplication of length, width, and height. The assignment is acutally an interactive resource in that learners answer...

Students discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...

Students investigate measurement. In this library lesson plan, students discuss measurement, read Millions to Measure by David Schwartz, and complete a worksheet. Extra related activities are included in the lesson plan that appeals to...

Learners measure objects effectively using standard units, They examine how consistency in the units used allows for easier and more accurate communication of mass measures.

In this SI units worksheet, students read about the System International of measurement and answer questions about given measurements. They indicate if given measurements are equal and they convert from one unit of measurement to another.

In this measurement worksheet, students complete each of the statements with the correct word related to the metric system. Then they match each letter marked with a number to those at the bottom of the sheet to complete the answer to...

In this measurement word search puzzle worksheet, students locate 10 words that are included in a word bank at the bottom of the page. They find words such as length, weight, volume, and weight.

Ninth graders develop operational definition of density, do computations using density equation, categorize pieces of matter as being able to float on water or not, based on density, explain why some objects sink or float based on...

In this density worksheet, high schoolers review this property of matter and the mathematical equations for density, mass, and volume. The worksheet has 10 fill in the blank statements and 3 word problems.

Students measure various attributes of an orange. They discuss the attributes of an orange that can be measured, develop a list of attributes and describe how they can measure it, and rotate through four stations measuring the volume,...

The Law of Conservation of Matter can be complex for young scientists to fully grasp. Use this experiment to help simplify the process as pupils perform two experiments to determine mass: one that melts a substance and the other that...

Students explore the measurements of capacity by constructing a creative project in the shape of a man. The man has body parts that represent different units of measurement and can be used to make conversions. This is highly concrete and...

Young scholars review estimation, measurement, fractions, decimals while familiarizing themselves with a new classroom at the beginning of the year.

Students measure a variety of objects using the appropriate measuring tool. In this measurement lesson plan, students explain the importance of accuracy and precision in collecting data. They discuss the difference between the two.

In this metric units of measurement worksheet, students read information about estimating lengths and masses, then solve 65 problems. Sample problems with solutions are included.

Eighth graders measure irregular and regular shaped solids.  For this investigative lesson students calculator volume, mass and density of wood and blocks.

In this density of the human body activity, students measure several parts of the body to calculate the body volume. Students convert the body volume to body mass and body density.

Students participate in five center activities in which they construct three dimensional objects using cubic centimeter manipulatives such as sugar cubes and toothpaste boxes. They determine the volume of the objects. They build a model...

Students decide what body measurements they need to make garments such as a pair of pants. They make a list, and work with a partner to take and record those measurements in centimeters. They discuss the use of centimeters.
