In a cross-curricular measurement and literacy lesson, your class will identify and compare cooking measurement instruments. They read a recipe and sequence a set of similar instructions in which the steps have been mixed up....

Fourth and fifth graders explore equivalent measurements of capacity and learn the size of different units of capacity. For this science lesson, pupils  identify equivalent measurements of capacity, identify different units of...

Differentiated instruction through leveled learning contracts boosts scholars' knowledge of volume and capacity. Participants split into three groups based on ability and interest before choosing three activities from their learning...

Study customary measurements with your sixth graders. They will investigate linear and capacity measurements to then measure and convert linear and capacity units. Finally they will work in small groups to conduct experiments. Resources...

Estimate and explore the length and weight of classroom items using standard measurement and scales. Students will work in groups to determine appropriate measuring tools, weigh or measure items, and record their results on a data chart....

Upper graders identify the surface area and attributes of figures that are measurable. They estimate, measure, and record perimeter, area, temperature change, and elapsed time, using a variety of strategies. They also determine the...

Build a basic understanding of units of measure and create a great foundation for your learners. The lesson gives a complete overview of everything measurement, from types of measurement to rounding to conversions — it has it all! 

What do your vital signs tell your doctor? An engaging hands-on lesson has your learners monitor their own lung capacity, blood pressure, and heart rate. They then connect the vital measures to the workings of the circulatory and...

Students examine and discuss a variety of ways to measure length, capacity, and weight. They estimate and measure a pencil's length using Unifix cubes, estimate and fill a measuring cup with Unifix cubes, and weigh a calculator in a...

Students experiment with various containers to explore standard units of liquid capacity. They create a diagram to illustrate the liquids and units of measurement that each container holds. Each student is then challenged to compute...

It's time to increase the heat! Young chemists demonstrate heat transfer and heat capacity in an activity-packed lab, showing the transitions between solid, liquid, and gaseous phases of materials. Individuals plot data as the...

Young measurers identify gallons, quarts, pints, and cups, then determine equivalent measurements for capacity using customary measuring tools.

Lead the class in a review of the basic concepts and procedures involved in measuring length, weight, and volume. After whole group instruction, small groups and individuals practice measuring by completing a variety of fun activities...

For this math worksheet, students practice converting the measurements from one form to another using capacity, weight, mass, time , and area.

After a class discussion that revolves around the measurements that most milk cartons come in, learners dig deeper to understand the mathematical relationships between these units of measurement. A very cute, and quite-effective...

There is more than one way to measure an amount, as learners discover by applying multiple measurement tools in these activities. Centimeter cubes, cylinders, beakers, and measuring cups are used to find the volume of regular and...

Students compare the weight of the students's favorite soft toys directly and then indirectly using beads.

Explore the use of non-standard units for measuring volume with elementary learners. They fill a container and count the number used using cups, spoons, and bottles, build with blocks and count the number of blocks used, and compare and...

Life science learners construct lung-o-meters from gallon-sized milk jugs and then measure their lung capacities. For older students, have them graph the vital lung capacities of each person in the class. Cross-curricular pieces are...

Breaking the rules is one thing, proving it is another! Learners expand on their previous understanding of congruence and apply a mathematical definition to transformations. They perform and identify a sequence of transformations and use...

First graders measure weight and capacity. In this measurement instructional activity, 1st graders explore visual examples of weight and capacity comparisons. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Third graders create a table in order to record estimations and measurements of objects. In this estimation and measurement lesson plan, 3rd graders estimate and measure object's lengths, area, weight, and capacity.

Second graders investigate the concept of measuring weight, mass, and capacity. In this measurement worksheet, 2nd graders compare items using the words "more than" or "less than." They predict whether an item weighs more or less than a...

Elementary and middle schoolers identify different units of liquid measurement. They use the online Visual Thesaurus to learn about the relationships between units of liquid measurement.
