Students design their own Science experiment. In this science experiment lesson students create a hypothesis related to matter and test it. They displayed their data in a graph.

Students use Geometer's Sketchpad to examine the scale factor when in is applied to the length of a figure's sides. They look at how the scale factor affects the side lengths, perimeter, and area of the figure that result. They work with...

Students confirm the law of conservation of matter by weighing chewing gum before and after it is chewed.

Students calculate the radius of the earth. They use the method and data suggested by Eratosthenes. They investigate the interrelationships among mass, distance, force, and time through experimental processes.

In this unit students work in groups to find out about an endangered animal species. They design a zoo enclosure for the animal and build a scale model. Together the class constructs a zoo! In the process of planning and building the zoo...

Students take part in a variety of measurement tasks. Students measure the length of a slinky. Students work out how many slices of tomato will fit around the edge of a pizza. Students measure the label from a can accurately.

Students begin to recognize that objects have many measurable attributes. They examine how to identify and accurately measure attributes of common objects. Also Students report their measurement findings.

Students participate in experiments at five stations to practice measurement. In this measuring instructional activity, students are presented different produce and objects and must measure with an appropriate tool. Students use metric...

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 investigate data collection and analysis.  In this Algebra I instructional activity, students create a scatter plot and find the equation of best fit in a simulation of a leaking water pipe.

Second graders use knowledge of measurements and ratios to mix various combinations of liquid starch and glue. They chart their ratios, make observations, and write a summary of the activity. They mix their own batch of Crazy Putty to...

In this unit conversions worksheet, students convert units such as kilometers, meters, centimeters, feet, hours, and minutes. Students complete 22 problems.

Your geometers are used to finding the perimeter of a square or rectangle, so give them something different this time! With this instructional activity, small groups will receive a picture of a shoreline and calculate the perimeter. The...

Seventh graders practice finding the area and perimeter of polygons. In this polygon area instructional activity, 7th graders brainstorm shapes and take a walk to locate shapes. Students record properties of shapes and use...

Fifth graders investigate data from maps to solve problems. In this data lesson, 5th graders study maps and collect data from each map. Students present their data in a variety of ways and calculate the mode, mean, median, and range.

Students engage in experiences involving the mathematical concept of averages. After watching a video, students explore averaging through a variety of different methods.

Students describe and classify rocks that they have chosen. They estimate and find the mass of their rocks.

A home improvement plan can help adult learners preparation for the GED exam. They review vocabulary, prepare diagrams, complete a worksheet, calculate perimeters and analyze how to approach a story problem. They identify many geometry...

Fourth graders measure cups, quarts, and liters.

Pupils collect, organize, and analyze data while studying the Pythagorean Theorem, measure length and width of several rectangular objects, and compare the measured results to the calculated results.

Students label objects in their classroom based on mass and volume using the metric system. They examine the relationship between the numerical value and the corresponding metric unit.

Learners apply measurement skills using the metric system. They explain the process of isolating DNA from other cell contents. They apply knowledge of cell structure to explain the process of isolating DNA.

Fourth graders are introduced and experiment with the concept of pi. Using this information, they discover the relationship between the circumference and diameter of circles. In groups, they practice measuring the circumference of...

Students engage in a the estimation of volume for household containers and focus upon the usage of the metric system. They practice identifying the shapes that seem familiar and match shapes with quantities. Students interact with others...
