High schoolers investigate the properties of heat. They explore methods of temperature control and measurement. Through experimentation and activities, students design a high tech tree house. They consider electrical, solar, and natural...

Students calculate the volume and surface are of three-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students use the nets to prove their calculations of shapes. They identify the different parts of a solid using the nets.

Learners analyze characteristics and properties of two- and three-dimensional geometric shapes and develop mathematical arguments about geometric relationship

Learners begin to recognize that objects have many measurable attributes. They examine how to identify and accurately measure attributes of common objects. Also Students report their measurement findings.

Students take part in a variety of measurement tasks. Students measure the length of a slinky. Students work out how many slices of tomato will fit around the edge of a pizza. Students measure the label from a can accurately.

Enjoy a hands-on lesson that will certainly hold water with your classes. Young scientists design an experiment to determine the materials that absorb water the best. They test both man-made and nature-made materials and conduct...

Students explore one's lung capacity, the human body, displacing volume of water with volume of air and spirometer use. Using simple math, students figure out their lung capacity by breathing into a bottle filled with water and...

Students identify the shapes of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the same area and perimeter in shapes. They use the correct formula for the correct shape.

Students investigate the relationship between volume and mass in different liquids such as vegetable oil, rubbing alcohol and water. They measure the mass of several different volumes of each liquid and then graph the results as well as...

Students calculate the surface area of different prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify the shapes of solids based on the properties of that solid. They calculate the surface area using nets and properties of prisms.

In this word search worksheet, learners locate words related to the metric system. The word list includes centi, volume, balance, hecto, and measure.

Fifth graders estimate perimeter, area, and volume. They measure perimeter and area using nonstandard units of measurement. Students add and subtract non-standard units of measurement. They add mixed numbers and simplify the sum.

Students design their own Science experiment. In this science experiment lesson students create a hypothesis related to matter and test it. They displayed their data in a graph.

Pupils explore weight. In this math lesson plan, students predict which item weighs more and discuss how they arrived at their decision. Pupils weigh several items to determine which weighs more.

Students discuss situations when it is useful to know exact weight of object as opposed to estimated weight, estimate weight of various items, weigh them on scale using ounces and pounds, and compare their weights on Guess Your Best...

Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter and area. Students develop an understanding of length, perimeter, and area. Students calculate the area and perimeter of random shapes and calculate the area and perimeter of a triangle...

Students use graph paper to construct a graph and determine the slope of a straight line. They determine the weight (mass) of paper clips with a pan balance. Pupils weigh an unknown number of paper clips, and to interpret the graph to...

Students confirm the law of conservation of matter by weighing chewing gum before and after it is chewed.

In this converting imperial units worksheet, students complete converting 12 metric units from imperial units to metric or vice versa.

Second graders distinguish the difference between pounds and ounces and arrange manipulatives from heaviest to lightest.

Third graders estimate the volume and mass of one marshmallow using appropriate standard units. They design and carry out an investigation to find the average of volume/mass of one marshmallow.

Students measure the angles of a milk carton. They identify and label acute, right, and obtuse angles. Using appropriate tools, students determine the volume of a cube or a rectangular prism. Students complete worksheets to...
