This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about converting years into weeks.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about converting years to days.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to give fourth graders an overview of comparison of weights (english units).

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to give fourth graders an overview of length (english units).

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about using real maps (english lengths and distances).

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to give fourth graders an overview of capacity - word problems.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about distances between points on one route (metric units).

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about dividing lengths (english units).

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about dividing weights (metric units).

Student groups are provided with a generic car base on which to design a device/enclosure to protect an egg on or in the car as it rolls down a ramp at increasing slopes. During this in-depth physics/science/technology activity, student teams design, build and test their creations to meet the design challenge, and are expected to perform basic mathematical calculations using collected data, including a summative cost to benefit ratio.

How many calories are in your favorite foods? How much exercise would you have to do to burn off these calories? What is the relationship between calories and weight? Explore these issues by choosing diet and exercise and keeping an eye on your weight.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about estimating measure by image: centimeters or meters?.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about estimating measure by description - multiple choice.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about finding the capacity of water with illustrations (metric units).

Use this activity to explore forces acting on objects, practice graphing experimental data, and introduce the algebra concepts of slope and intercept of a line. A wooden 2 x 4 beam is set on top of two scales. Students learn how to conduct an experiment by applying loads at different locations along the beam, recording the exact position of the applied load and the reaction forces measured by the scales at each end of the beam. In addition, students analyze the experiment data with the use of a chart and a table, and model/graph linear equations to describe relationships between independent and dependent variables.

Students take a closer look at cars and learn about some characteristics that affect their energy efficiency, including rolling resistance and the aerodynamics of shape and size. They come to see how vehicles are one example of a product in which engineers are making changes and improvements to gain greater efficiency and thus require less energy to operate.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about using the four operations with weights (english units).

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about solving two-step single-unit problems with four operations (metric units) - word problems.
