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

Students demonstrate how to use math skills to measure their lung capacity. In this human biology lesson, students use a clear plastic container, measuring cup and rubber balloons to demonstrate how the lungs work. Students estimate the...

Students explore measuring cups according to volume. In this capacity lesson, students investigate how to estimate volume to make a healthy snack. Students measure ingredients and prepare a snack.

Third graders use nonstandard concrete methods to estimate and record measurements of their body.

Second graders determine and compare weights and volumes of popped and unpopped corn to make predictions and solve problems. Students combine the data of each group into a graph. They construct questions, statements and story problems...

Students study the function of lungs. In this lung function lesson, students complete an experiment using balloons to study the way lungs work. Students study a diagram of their lungs and make a hypothesis for their lung capacity...

Students determine their lung capacity by completing a science experiment with a bottle of water. In this lung science lesson, students discuss the lungs' purpose. Students complete an experiment to determine their lung capacity using a...

Learners create an airplane by listening to directions. They also to measure the pieces for the airplane and compare and contrast their test flights.

Students explore the concept of time. Through discussion and artistic projects, they define time in their own words and tell how it is used to represent the seasons. Students draw a picture to portray time as it elapses during the...
