Get the class up and going with a lesson that discusses how airplane wings provide lift. Pupils use their knowledge of Bernoulli's Principle to develop an explanation of how it creates lift on airplane wings.

Check out a lesson plan that starts with force of gravity and moves through the concepts of mass, weight, volume, and density. Learners calculate density, test the buoyancy of objects, and then demonstrate understanding by altering the...

How does a cheetah life cycle differ from a human life cycle? Kids graph weight gain for humans versus cheetahs and compare other life cycle events such as gestation and life span

Physics learners studying force and acceleration practice solving eight problems with this assignment. They calculate acceleration and deceleration, net force, and distances required for stopping a moving object. Kinematics equations and...

Using the Cartesian coordinate system, future flight experts plot points to determine whether or not an airplane will fly. With the four forces of weight, lift, drag, and thrust represented in different quadrants, your physics learners...

It's time for Halloween and math! Perfect for Fall, this simple worksheet provides a grid for young mathematicians to record their predictions about a pumpkin's height, stem length, diameter, circumference, and weight. After learners...

How much does a seagull weigh? Kids estimate weight by choosing the closest option out of three, using ounces, pounds, and tons. 

Students measure the weight of a container of leaves daily to discover how quickly it grows lighter as the foliage dries.

Specific learning goals are grouped for different grade levels spanning pre-kindergarten to eighth grade. After preparing the questions and materials, you call a learner to come in front of the class and play the game. Young learners...

Third, fourth, and fifth graders participate in measurement centers. They visit six different centers: standard and linear measurement, clocks, weight, volume, temperature, and converting measurements. They complete a data collection...

Primary learners participate in activities that help them explain how different things are measured. They create their own access number chart.

In this weight worksheet, students answer multiple choice questions about the different weights of different items involving fraction problems. Students complete 7 problems.

Students collect and analyze data on a fictional cereal company's products. In this measurement instructional activity, students collect data from cereal boxes (weight, volume, surface area, etc.) to determine if the boxes labels...

In this gravity worksheet, students determine how much they would weigh on the different planets. Students calculate how far they could jump on other planets. This worksheet has 2 graphic organizers and 6 short answer questions.

In this measurement worksheet, students identify the units of measurement, the instrument used to measure and the method used to measure weight, mass, density, volume and length. They also answer questions about measurements and find the...

Fifth graders experiment with student-made aluminum boats to test for buoyancy. They design a boat and determine how many marbles it takes to sink it while recording their data in a spreadsheet. They design a graph using the data and...

Middle schoolers examine statistics by completing a skateboard measuring activity. In this flex lesson, students define what skateboard "flex" refers to and identify the proper method of measuring flex by conducting an experiment with...

Students compare the densities of different liquids. In this liquids lesson plan, students compare color, viscosity, weight, volume, and graph their findings.

For this math worksheet, 6th graders complete multiple choice problems about weight, money, and more. Students complete 15 problems.

In this money worksheet, students compare how much someone can earn from selling the weight of an organic cow versus a regular cow. Students complete 4 problems.

Students study material strength and how it varies with shape and arrangement.  In this paper structures instructional activity students work in teams to build a portable paper structure that can support the weight of a book. 

Sixth graders practice weight conversions in grams. In this conversion lesson, 6th graders convert weights from kilograms all the way to milligrams. They complete word problems with grams of rice.
