Your class can investigate the weather through an experiment. In this chemistry instructional activity, learners collect data on air pressure and relate it to the weather. They collect data with the TI containing a barometer probe.

Students explore photovoltaic systems. In this alternative energy lesson, students calculate solar panel efficiency and convert devices to solar energy using photovoltaic cells.

Young mathematicians learn to see geometry from different angles with this simple printable resource. Providing multiple visual examples of angles, this simple document can be used as an instructional tool, a skills practice...

Third graders view and measure common body parts to find a fathom, a span, and inch. They discuss the historical information about how standard English measurements came to be and why body parts can no longer be used as a standard...

Third graders create Powerpoint templates of pictures they have taken. Using both standard and metrric measurement units, they describe what units of measurement they would use for each object. In the computer lab, they work in pairs to...

Students work in pairs taking measurements of a tree. They measure the trunk, crown, and height using vertical and horizontal measurement. Then students create a bar graph using the information they gathered.

Third graders get into groups of two. Next, give each student a piece of butcher paper that is long enough for them to trace their entire body. One person lies down while their partner traces the outline of their body. Upon completion,...

Third graders, using technology tools, determine the total height of their classmates in both inches and centimeters. Once the measurements are taken, they enter the results in the Excel file. Once students have prepared a KidPix number...

Students practice gathering, averaging, and graphing data. They practice converting measurements to the metric system. Students graph their results and present them to the class.

Seventh graders select 6 stores and 1 restaurant at Cocowalk and measure the distance of traveling from store to store. They measure the distance from Store 1 to Store 2 and label that distance A.

Eighth graders explore the metric system. After a class demonstration, they complete a worksheet on converting metric units. In groups, 8th graders measure their height. They graph the results of the classroom. They convert heights...

In this math instructional activity, students complete the daily math warm-up assignment that focuses upon the concepts of measurement and conversion.

Students participate in an investigation of winged organisms. Working with calipers, students measure the wing span of several butterflies from different areas. After recording their measurements, students use their data to explain...

Students work together to measure tree heights. They make predictions on what they believe the calculations are and answer questions during the experiment. They share their results with the class.

In this measurement worksheet, students measure distance with a provided ruler. Using the provided map scale, students determine the actual distance between objects. They may set up proportions to evaluate each situation.

Learners study the effects of water erosion on soil by gathering and analyzing data during an experiment. They decide on appropriate units of measurement to apply in problem solving.

Learners arrange themselves into small groups. Each group chooses a distance to measure ( the distance between the slide and the swings, for instance). Person #1 walks the distance, counting the number of his or her steps. Persons 2...

In this finding unknown angles worksheet, 10th graders find each numbered angle's measure for 20 different angles shown in the diagrams. They calculate the size of an angle when the other two angles are known to equal 180 degrees. Then,...

Young scholars engage in a lesson that is concerned with the measurement of a foot as a customary unit. They take part in a series of activities to help them acquire skills of using a foot to compare other units of measurement. The...

Students measure out 100 feet to get an idea of how long an oil tanker is.  In this measurement lesson plan, students sketch an oil tanker using the appropriate scale, after they have an idea of how large an actual oil tanker is. 

Students 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 special right triangles activity, 10th graders solve 9 different problems related to measuring various types of right triangles. First, they find the values of x and y in each right triangle shown. Then, students find the length...

For this measurement worksheet, learners cut out a ruler and analyze 3 strings. After estimating the lengths, Students measure the strings and record the results.

Students, in groups, estimate and check the weights of classroom objects using coins as the standard of measure.
