Fourth graders convert measurements in the metric system. In this metric lesson, 4th graders convert units up to kilometers and down to millimeters. They answer word problems with conversions. 

Students calculate the speed and length of parts of the robot. In this algebra lesson, students measure the length of robots legs. They calculate the time it takes the robot to travel a specific distance.

Young scholars 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.

Young scholars work together to use a sample seismograph. They role play the position of an engineering firm that is to analyze the machine. They discover how engineers develop new machines to take measurements.

Pupils work cooperatively to compose a twenty measure song using the computer program GarageBand. Guidelines for the student compositions are available and include instrumentation and specific length.

Students predict and hypothesize the reasons for wind movement. After viewing a video, they describe the effects of a high and low pressure system and what makes the wind blow. In groups, they construct instruments that measure air...

Fourth graders study the properties of heat in this series of lessons. They discuss sources of heat and experiment to determine its properties. They identify insulators and conductors by measuring temperatures, and graphing their data....

Students practice together measuring the lengths of the sides of various shapes as well as how to change units into other measuring formats. Individually they work on several word problems involving areas and perimeters. Formulating the...

Students solve quadratic equations. In pairs, students perform experiments where an object's free-fall is measured and graphed. Students discover and write reports on the uses of parabolas in real life applications. A guest speaker,...

Pupils receive current data on the movement of plates on the earth's crust. These plates shift and the magnitude of their shift over time can be tracked. They track this velocity vector on a global map and determine the speed of the...

Students engage in an interactive Internet lesson covering the reasons and results of earthquakes. After reading eyewitness accounts and viewing animations, they use seismograms to measure and locate the epicenters. In an ongoing study,...

Fifth graders calculate the diameters and radius of planets as a book is read to them. For this diameter and radius lesson plan, 5th graders read the book Space Circles and calculate the measurements based on the information in this book.

In this geometry worksheet, students identify the missing measures of rectangles and quadrilaterals. They use the properties of quadrilaterals to solve for the missing sides. There are 2 charts to be completed.

In this quadrilateral activity, learners find the missing measurements in squares and rhombuses in one hundred fifty-two problems.

In this quadrilaterals worksheet, students find the missing measurements of side lengths and angles in isosceles trapezoids and kites.

In this geometry worksheet, students solve word problems. They find the height and distance of triangular measurements. They identify missing angles using triangular properties. There are 10 questions.

For this corresponding angles worksheet, students measure the corresponding angles in each problem. Students complete 6 problems.

In this math lesson plan, students choose a topic involving math that interests them to investigate or research. Students make a plan detailing how they will investigate their topic; such as, keeping track of plant heights over time,...

Students examine current school energy use and focus on energy saving measures that could be implemented. In this energy lesson, students are also encouraged to raise awareness of energy saving practices and behaviors throughout the...

Students construct ratios using the hand as data. They use examples of cortical and trabecular bone found in the long bones to measure circumference, diameter, length, and weight of long bones. They perform computations using growth...
