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....

Students view the excerpt from NickNews entitled, "Winners and Losers." In groups, they categorize a variety of words and images relating to weight, healthy eating, and healthy lifestyle. They discuss adopting positive eating habits,...

Young scholars participate in a qualitative discussion of the distinction between weight and mass, followed by a description of astronaut mass measurements in a zero-g environment.

In this weight activity, students solve 6 equations using weight and 5 similar word problems. Problems use addition and subtraction.

Students measure how much mass is worn away during 15-20 minutes of shaking. They shake rocks for 15-20 minutes to simulate stream erosion. Students listen to music as they shake their rocks. They weigh out 100 grams of marble chips....

Students observe the 'pouring' of a gas. They compare the masses (weights) and densities of two gases. Pupils define the following terms: matter, mass, and density. Students answer questions after watching the demonstration.

Students practice calculating the moment of inertia when discussing a skater and the position in which it is best to spin. After class discussion, students practice calculating inertia on their own.

Student identify the three stationary positions, on the Earth, on the Moon, and in a house floating atop the cloud layers of Jupiter. They also identify the three orbiting positions, orbiting the Earth, orbiting the Moon, and orbiting...

High schoolers parcticipate in a modeling activity that simulates the cyclical role of experimental and theoretical science. Initially, students measure the mass of popcorn. They also record predictions of the mass of the kernels after...

Students calculate the weight of a motor vehicle using only a sheet of graph paper and a tire gauge. Extensions provided offer additional challenges.

Sixth graders record the weight of themselves and 3 family over a week, and then use that data to compile 2 bar graphs and 4 line graphs and answer a series of questions.
