This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about converting miles to feet.
In this lesson, students will use a square foot gardening planting chart (provided) to calculate the number of crops they can plant within a specific area.
Students will convert vegetable bed measurements from feet to metric units using decimals.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to give fifth graders an overview of capacity - word problems.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about distances between points on multiple routes (metric units).
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about measurement: greater than or less than a yard?.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about division of lengths (metric units).
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about estimating the measure of objects by image: feet or inches?.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about estimating the measure of items by description: inches, feet, or yards?.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about finding the total amount of liquid in liters and milliliters.
In this open-ended, hands-on activity that provides practice in engineering data analysis, students are given gait signature metric (GSM) data for known people types (adults and children). Working in teams, they analyze the data and develop models that they believe represent the data. They test their models against similar, but unknown (to the students) data to see how accurate their models are in predicting adult vs. child human subjects given known GSM data. They manipulate and graph data in Excel® to conduct their analyses.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about visually finding weight in compound units.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to give fifth graders an overview of comparison of weights (metric units).
Gait analysis is the study of human motion that can be utilized as biometric information or identification, for medical diagnostics or for comparative biomechanics. In this activity, students observe walking human subjects and then discuss parameters that could be used to characterize walking gaits. They use accelerometers to collect and graph acceleration vs. time data that can help in gait analysisâall part of practicing the engineering data analysis process. Students complete this activity before learning the material presented in the associated lesson.
In this lesson, students will choose a feature in the outdoor classroom to measure using a selected tool (tape, ruler, or yard/meter stick). They will sketch feature and label its dimensions.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about single object length (english units).
This lesson will require students to practice measuring real-world objects in different units and evaluate the most effective units to use for solving problems.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about single object length ii (english units).
Students will use leaves to measure different plants in and around the garden.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about converting meters to centimeters.
