Science is exciting - and delicious! Pairs of learners set up a bungee cord type of experiment. They use buckets filled with M & M's, a meter stick, and a Slinky spring (as the bungee) to conduct their experiment. A good activity...

Tenth graders investigate dilations and explore the dilation transformation before investigating the properties of a dilation using Cabri Jr. Students extend the concept of dilatation to the coordinate plane.

The physics department at The University of Hawaii has designed midterm exams for their college physics courses. This version deals with electricity concepts. It requires learners to calculate conversions, capacitance, and potential...

Using helium as an example of propane, physical science middle schoolers experiment with and graph the relationship between temperature and volume in gases. In a whole-class demonstration, they show how molecules behave under different...

Students explore geometry by participating in a school measuring activity. In this perimeter lesson, students discuss the techniques and methods used in order to measure a large perimeter or geometric figure. Students utilize grid paper,...

Students read a picture book called Jim and the Beanstalk to investigate measurement. They determine that a measuring tape is used to measure the giant and see that a measuring tape is like a flexible ruler that allows you to measure...

Students examine how the circumference, diameter, and the relationship of Pi of a circle are related. They count the summer rings of a tree to determine its growth.

Students study different formats of data and determine the nitrogen dioxide concentrations.  In this seasons lesson students understand the different relationships that NO2 can have.

Students examine the built environment and infrastructures of their community by constructing contour equipment, using the equipment, and comparing their results to current topographical maps of the same area

Students explain the practical uses of robots. They interpret possible careers in robotics, apply the safety guidelines of robots, and develop a perspective of the use of robots. They empathize with the cultural issues of robots in work...

Students treat a high molecular weight polyvinyl alcohol polymer with potassium periodate. They measure the viscosity of polyvinyl alcohols.

Pupils measure various objects using non-standard units. The goal is for them to practice measuring in order to apply the physical act to various objects found in the classroom. The lesson is ideal for the kinesthetic learners and...

Students demonstrate problem solving skills. Students complete word problems requiring unit conversions. They convert both metric and standard units. Students must determine necessary information to solve problems.

Seventh graders explore the concept of area. For this area lesson, 7th graders determine what measurements are necessary to find the area of a rectangle and circle. Students use area formulas to calculate area or rectangles and circles.

In this measurement worksheet, students complete a 12 question multiple choice online interactive assessment about standard modern and ancient measurement.

Seventh graders create a bathroom floor plan using measurement math. In this measurement instructional activity, 7th graders use measurement, proportionality, estimation, and area to design a floor plan. Students design floor tiles using...

Students make estimates and then measure leaves for accuracy. They calculate the area of the leaves by drawing an outline on graph paper and counting the squares. They compare the leaves exposed to sunlight to those that are in constant...

Students find a correlation between a person's height and his/her shoe size. They have access to entering data into lists on a graphing calculator and can complete scatter plots. Students read and interpret a scatter plot and use the...

This compact collection of slides explains the history and use of the mole unit. Relative atomic mass, as John Dalton understood it, is explained. Avogadro's number is also introduced. The mole, or the unit for the amount of a substance,...

View a PBS video entitled Horatio's Drive and explore Horatio's Ratios. Collaborative learners form groups to use Mapquest to determine distances covered. They generate the mathematical averages, ratios, and rates in order to calculate...

Pupils compare the temperature change in a closed and open box as a demonstration of the greenhouse effect. 

Students engage in a unit of literature study in order to focus upon the historical context of the holocaust. They read the literature in either whole works or partially depending on the teacher and answer the questions to measure...

First graders practice the song "Tinker, Tailor" using percussion instruments, Orff instruments, and their voices in this Music lesson for the 1st grade. The lesson is intended for use within an Orff unit of study and includes...

Third graders describe an amount of turn from a particular position to another using the 'circular' benchmarks of 0, ++, ++, ++, and full turn. Estimation language such as 'just about', 'between', 'not quite', 'just over', and similar...
