Primary learners participate in activities that help them explain how different things are measured. They create their own access number chart.

Upper graders experiment with measurement. They estimate the length, volume, and weight of various objects, then rotate through stations making predictions concerning measurements and then testing their predictions.

Here are some cross-curricular activities whil should help your kids understnad weight measurements and grammar. In this grammar and math instructional activity, students read the book Skittles Riddles and practice counting and balancing...

Students measure, record, and graph the force of moving a block of wood along sand paper. In this friction lesson plan, students read a spring scale, collect data, construct a graph, and propose a model to explain how fiction works.

Learners discover the actual size and weight of many insects and animals. In this biology lesson, students investigate animals and insects to determine their actual weight and size. In groups, learners create an animal or insect of their...

Students make generalizations about weight and mass by engaging in two hands-on experiments. In this weight and mass instructional activity, students weigh both an empty beaker and beakers with various amounts of weight inside of them in...

Fifth graders use metric measurement to study the amount a bison eats. In this measurement instructional activity, 5th graders watch a video about bison and discuss the amount of food they eat. Students weigh their food trays at lunch...

First graders explore watermelons and collect and sort their seeds. In this watermelons lesson plan, 1st graders read the story Down By The Bay and then weigh, measure, collect seeds, sort, and eat their watermelon.

Sixth graders sketch their own kites by creating a scale drawing of an original design.  In this designing kites lesson, 6th graders draw a rough sketch, then accurately draw their design on large paper with a ruler, measuring...

The students are able to use a formula to calculate the volume of cuboids by measuring the length of each of the three dimensions. They also investigate the relationship between milliliters and cubic centimeters.

Sixth graders compare and contrast mass and weight. In this physics lesson, 6th graders calculate speed given distance and time information. They construct a rocket and relate this to Newton's 3rd Law of motion.

Measure your pupil's learning in a lesson plan designed to explore decimals by weighing different candies on a scale and recording the weight. Small groups then compare and order the decimal weights on a number line to show their...

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.

Students use everyday materials (milk cartons, water bottles, pencils, straws, candy) to build a small-scale transportation device that incorporates the wheel and axle and the lever. They race their carts/trucks, measure distance, time...

Students create a ruler for the purpose of measurement using the standard and metric systems. The rulers are of different lengths and are compared to one another. Then students make conversions of different lengths using both systems of...
