In this length, weight and measures 2 worksheet, 3rd graders draw lines to match three objects to the tool needed to measure each one and the unit of measure used in metric.

In this friction activity, students use books, a bucket, string, weights, and more to test what happens to friction when they use wheels to roll an object instead of sliding it. Students also answer 5 questions.

In this levers instructional activity, students follow directions to making levers with a ruler, weights, pennies, and more. Students then see how much force is needed when adding more weights.

For this springs worksheet, students use paper clips, rubber bands, weights, and more to make springs. Students follow 6 directions, put answers in a chart, and complete 1 question on their own.

In this friction experiment activity, students follow the procedures to set up an experiment, collect data and write a conclusion about the effect of friction and weight.

In this levers worksheet, students conduct an experiment on lifting levers including materials such as pennies, stickers, pencils, and weights. Students then answer 2 questions about what they found.

For this measurement worksheet, 3rd graders estimate how much each of 9 objects weighs in ounces and pounds. They circle the answer that gives the best estimate of the weight of objects which include a key, an elephant, a chair, and a...

In this weight comparisons worksheet, students circle the picture of the heavier object in each set. Students underline the picture for the lighter object. Students finish by drawing items on the balance that have the same weight.

In this pounds and ounces instructional activity, students estimate the weights of 4 common objects. Students then weigh each object on a balance scale and record the weights.

In this grade 2 mixed math practice worksheet, 2nd graders complete 8 problems which include money, time, weight, days of the week, addition, and subtraction. They put items in order using the clues in one example.

In this balancing a scale worksheet, 3rd graders study and analyze a set of scales and determine how many mugs would be needed to balance the last scale in each set.

In this science and math worksheet, 5th graders answer four different questions related to dinosaurs. They graph the information with data located at a given website.

Students investigate the concept of measurement for capacity and they use real containers to be filled of different sizes. Students use the scoops as the number of units for counting the capacity volume. Then they order the containers by...

Students engage in a lesson to measure body parts. They use the measuring tape to record the data of body measurements. Students must choose the appropriate unit of measurement and compare the data for the different parts of the human body.

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 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 stack several different colored marshmallows-one on top of the other-in the tall cylindrical container. They ct a cardboard disk to fit snugly inside of the container on top of the marshmallow stack using a compass if necessary....
