Fourth graders explore unit conversions. They create visual models of measurement units, identify tables of equivalent units and make simple conversions with in a measurement system. Students produce charts that identify units of measure...

Students practice estiminating and measuring angles. After watching a short video, they identify angles in objects in the classroom and their homes. In groups, they participate in activities in which they are given a scenerio and are...

Students investigate the properties of solids, liquids and gases. In this states of matter lesson plan, students observe dry ice and its characteristics. They calculate the density of dry ice and observe the sublimation of the dry ice...

In this solids worksheet, students compute the volume of prisms, cylinders, pyramids, spheres and cones.  This seven-page worksheet contains approximately 68 problems. 

Students make fudge after reading fractional values in recipes and finding equivalent fractions to those presented in the recipes. They study measurement abbreviations.

Students make origami frogs to race. After the race they measure the distance raced, collect the data, enter it into a chart. They then find the mean, median, and mode of the data. Next, students enter this data into Excel at which time...

Eighth graders create a survey, gather data and describe the data using measures of central tendency (mean, median and mode) and spread (range, quartiles, and interquartile range). Students use these measures to interpret, compare and...

Students calculate the size of a molecule. In this molecules and their sizes lesson plan, students find the size of an oleic acid molecule by using a measured amount of drops of oleic acid to find the volume of the sample, the thickness...

In this pressure worksheet, students read about Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure, about vapor pressure and about collecting gases over water. They answer 6 questions using the concepts of Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure and they solve 4...

Students describe how objects in the universe range from smaller than atoms to larger than galaxies. they explain how the metric system works and compare it to the English system of measurement.

In this determining concentration worksheet, students are given the equations to find the concentration of a solution in grams per milliliter, to determine the concentration in parts per million, to determine percent mass and percent...

Students investigate inhalation and exhalation of the respiratory system. They construct a model of the respiratory system using balloons, straws, cups, and rubber bands. Then, they observe inhalation and exhalation and measure the...

Young scholars investigate the amount of fresh water on earth and which water can be used for consumption. In this fresh water lesson plan, students calculate the amount of fresh water that can be used for consumption on earth. They use...

In this sunspots and magnetic fields worksheet, students read about the satellite images taken showing 'loopy' patterns from solar gases and the magnetic fields on the sun. Students solve 2 problems including finding the volume of a...

For this catalysts worksheet, students use transition metal ions to catalyze oxidation reactions of iodide ions. Students measure the rate of the reactions by measuring free iodine as a product.

In this acids, bases and salts activity, high schoolers solve five problems in order to determine the molarity of solutions or the volume of substances to be added to make molar solutions. They also solve five dilution problems about acids.

In this chemistry worksheet, students solve 47 problems involving measurement conversions from one unit to another. They explain how values should be reported from measurements.

In this science worksheet, students identify and explain what each unit represents and how much each one equals. Then they use a metric ruler to locate each measurement and write it on the line. Students also locate the distance between...

Students investigate density and salinity of water. In this density and salinity lesson plan, students find the density of objects and liquids and show the relationship between the salinity and density of water. Students add salt to...

In this geometry worksheet students explore similar polygons and determine measure of missing sides and angles. Students use indirect measurement with similar triangles and determine the area and volume of similar figures. The seven...

Students map and calculate the area of the school parking lot and then the volume of water falling on the school parking lot. They map the route surface runoff will take to the nearest water body and describe the roles that human...

Learners determine which types of garbage are biodegradable and which are nonbiodegradable. They practice measuring skills, hypothesizing, taking data, and writing a lab report. Students observe the relative biodegradability of metal,...
