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...

Students practice measuring the correct volume using micropipette. In this biology lesson, students determine the correct micropipette tip to use when transferring fluid. They convert metric volume from one unit to another.

Students experiment with making popcorn to discover what makes it pop. They cook various types to survey which brand gives the highest volume of corn.

Students predict what is going to happen using prior knowledge being prepared to alter a view when faced with new evidence. They then accurately measure and record liquid volumes realizing that liquids and granular solids have...

Students compute the area of triangles in a computer program. In this measurement lesson plan, students complete 5 easy, 5 medium, and 5 hard problems.

High schoolers investigate the concept of climate gases and practice using the appropriate measurement terms. The lesson includes information that is used by the teacher to conduct class discussion or as a source of background for students.

Students observe the process of transpiration in leaves. They measure how much water a leaf gives off in a 24-hour period, calculate the volume, and answer discussion questions.

Learners explore what happens to water as it goes from solid to liquid and back. In this state of matter lesson, students observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state.

Fourth graders measure cups, quarts, and liters.

The student will estimate the weight and cost of produce and calculate the actual price.Discuss the difference between weight and volume. Have students discuss whether it is more economical to buy produce by the pound, by the piece or...

Fifth graders define density as the amount of mass per volume a material contains, compare the densities of several types of materials, especially those that sink in water compared to those that float. They use two different methods to...

Young scholars use the lesson, "Squirt", to support students' development of multiplicative thinking. Squirt encourages young scholars to anticipate multiplicative measurement relationships, e.g. three measures of A fit in B, by...

Middle schoolers examine why some objects float while others do not. They place various objects in water to observe their floating capability. Students record the object, its weight, and if the object floated. They construct a graph...

Students explore the relationships between similar figures. In this relationships between similar figures lesson, students discuss relationships between perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, and volume of similar figures through...

Third graders observe a frozen container filled with ice and discuss what happens when the ice sits out in the room. They practice measuring the mass and volume of the ice, watch as the frozen container is placed in a warm water bath to...

Students investigate the concept of an aquifer and use a 2 liter bottle and other materials to conduct a simple lab experiment or demonstration. They calculate the volume of water that can be stored in the aquifer. The lab is used to...
