I would weigh less on the moon? Send me there, then! On the top of the first page, a cartoon image demonstrates the difference between Earth and the moon. It then goes on to describe weight and mass and provides five practice problems...

Students explore mass, volume, and weight. In this science and measurement lesson, students compare volume, mass, and weight after listening to the teacher's description of each. Students explore different scales and balances and...

Why do you weigh more in space? Each individual in your class explores this question and others as they determine the mass and weight of different objects using two types of scales. They perform conversions and discuss their...

Students determine the mass of various "dinosaur eggs" and graph their data. In this mass, weight, data and graphing lesson plan, students measure the mass of different weighted "dinosaur eggs". They record their data and transfer it to...

Fourth graders explore weight in pounds. For this measurement lesson, students estimate the weight of teacher-provided objects, measure the actual weight of the objects using scales, and discuss food products sold by the pound....

Do your learners know that there are different systems to measure length, volume, and weight? Explain metric measuring and its base ten decimal system using this comprehensive set of worksheets! For all three types of measurement,...

Explore various types of measurement with fourth graders. They will practice using balance pans to measure the weight of a coin and a graduated cylinder to determine the displacement volume for a bolt. The metric system will be the focus...

Young scholars utilize a balance scale. In this applied science lesson plan, students compare the weights of two objects using an elementary balance scale. Young scholars balance the scale with weights to find how heavy an object is.

Students explore the concept of weight and mass and the importance of units. Using a balance, they determine the weight of various objects in the unit of "pebbles" and in grams.

Students develop two units of measurement to relate to the astronomical unit and the light year. For this astronomy lesson, students use a Twizzler to develop a measurement unit similar to the astronomical unit. They use a moving object,...

In this measurement worksheet, students determine how gravity affects your weight and mass on a different planet. Students practice converting measurements to different units. This worksheet has 12 problems to solve.

Using a teacher-built wind tunnel constructed from a paper concrete tube form, a fan, and a balance, individuals determine the amount of drag their rocket design will experience in flight. Pupils make modifications to increase the...

If you need a way to assess the concepts in your physical science class, use an extended set of worksheets as a midterm or final exam. It includes questions about density, physical and chemical matter, speed and velocity, weight and...

Students determine where to buy the heaviest earthworms as they study invertebrates. They create a double bar graph of the results of the weight data.

Students study product packaging and determine if it is excessive and if it is recyclable.  In this packaging lesson students examine and identify waste reduction techniques. 

Fifth graders experiment with student-made aluminum boats to test for buoyancy. They design a boat and determine how many marbles it takes to sink it while recording their data in a spreadsheet. They design a graph using the data and...

In this experimental design and measurement worksheet, students answer questions about independent and dependent variables, they write hypotheses, they identify instruments that measure mass, weight, and volume and they calculate the...

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

Students use a balance and gram cubes to measure several different objects. They then record their results on a data chart and answer questions about them.

Fourth graders investigate the weight/mass of a number of items using grams, and equivalents. They examine the use of a triple beam balance before massing objects including oil and water. They go over the weights they amassed and weigh...

Students compare the densities of different liquids. In this liquids lesson plan, students compare color, viscosity, weight, volume, and graph their findings.

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...

Students participate in a metric Olympics. In this metric measurement lesson, students participate in 6 events that require them to predict, estimate, and measure lengths, masses, and area in metric units.

In this measurements worksheet, students review how metric conversions work and the prefixes associated with the conversions. Then students complete 27 problems, 1 short answer, 14 matching, and 7 fill in the blank questions.
