Students practice measurement.  In this fractions instructional activity, 6th graders measure volume of a liquid, e.g. 1/5 liter, and learn the vocabulary of fractions (numerator, denominator). Students solve sample problems...

Students discuss and experiment with the phases of water.  In this phases of matter lesson, students recognize the different states of matter.  Students measure and record changes and understand when the state changes.

Students describe, measure and compare cranial casts from contemporary apes (chimpanzees and gorillas, typically), modern humans and fossil "hominids" (erect and bipedal forms evolutionarily separated from apes).

Students identify and describe two criterion of tax fairness: benefits received and the ability to pay and distinguish between wealth and income as measures of ability to pay.

Students examine an area overrun by English Ivy. They explore how invasive species affect an ecosystem. They also study about the lack of biodiversity and how to measure it out in the field.

Fifth graders compare and contrast different sets of data on the basis of measures of central tendency.

Students study yeasts or cellular respiration in this inquiry activity. They examine different types of bread to show which rise or do not. They measure the amount of carbon dioxide released by the yeasts when using different sweeteners.

Fifth graders practice using the English measuring system by creating fractions.  For this parts of a whole lesson, 5th graders combine math key bars to simulate small parts of a bigger item.  Students combine the pieces to...

Learners conduct an experiment to test Snell's Law using a block of lucite and a ray box. They measure the light rays as they impinge upon the block. Students are also asked to draw the situation of the lab or create a model of the...

Students discover the vocabulary used for distances in space and review measurement units and instruments before creating a scale model of the planets. They determine how to calculate the relative distances between the planets using a...

Learners investigate the Golden Ratio in this algebra I or geometry instructional activity. They explore the Golden Ratio as the conduct an experiment in which they collect various measurement from their team members and find the...

Young scholars calculate the hourly irradiance of the earth at a site given the near-surface air temperature of the site. They compare the calculated values of irradiance with those measured by instruments at the site. Students need to...

For this scientific research worksheet, students will complete a chart by determining if the statements given are examples of quantitative research or descriptive research. Then students will fill in the blank of 8 statements about the...

For this geometric mean and the Pythagorean Theorem worksheet, 10th graders solve 16 different problems that determine the geometric mean of numbers by applying the Pythagorean Theorem. First, they find the geometric mean between each...

Students complete a weather report chart after studying weather patterns for a period of time. For this weather report lesson, students measure temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, wind speed, and wind direction for a month. Students...

Students identify the "4 Steps for Kids" and how they can stay safer. In this important rules lesson, students take measurements and refer to a chart to identify their Safety Seat Number.  Students also...

In this triangle relationships worksheet, students identify measurements in similar and congruent triangles. Each problem features a drawing of two or more triangles. Students identify missing measurements. There are 5 multiple choice...

For this trapezoids worksheet, students solve 6 multiple choice problems. Students find the lengths of the bases of a trapezoid given a ratio and median length. Students find unknown angle measures of kites and trapezoids given a sketch.

Students estimate and measure exact. In this geometry lesson, students create different object in three-dimensional pattern. They use SketchUp to create their shape and perform measurements on their shapes.

Students explain and appreciate the use of statistics in everyday life. They define basic terms used in statistics and compute simple measures of central tendency.

Students complete several physical fitness stations. Students identify which activities increased their heart rates from a resting level. Stations include jumping jacks, sit-ups, running in place, stretching, and body fat measurements.

Students view a video and discuss different kinds of feet found in the animal kingdom. They make prints using paint, rubber stamps and their own feet and then measure and compare the tracks.

Students are responsible for creating a border around a triangular garden spot, of which they know the measurements for two sides. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the third side and complete the garden.

Students create their own sling psychrometer to measure relative humidity. They work together in groups to make and use the psychrometer. They are asked questions about their experiment to complete the lesson.
