Graduated Cylinders - Measuring the Volume of a Liquid {FREEBIE}

Created by

Having a hard time finding assessments for measuring the volume of a liquid? I always pair this assessment with real, hands-on practice in the classroom. I’ve also used it to introduce this topic with the assessment first so the students know how to read the graduated cylinders before you give them one with water in it. There are 6 questions on this one page assessment and an answer document that goes with it. You can use them as exit tickets, homework, class practice, final assessments or in a

Let me start by saying that we use the design cycle on a daily basis in all content areas. I make the graphic organizer poster-sized and it hangs up in our classroom all of the time. We use post-it notes to show our thinking and where we are in the cycle at any given moment! Students also have their own copies of the design cycle organizer to use during our STEM challenges and other STEM activities. Learning how to use the design cycle is a process for the students, let them find their way

Discovering the Area of a Circle Activity

Created by

Emillion Thoughts

I give each student one half sheet with the instructions and 2 circles. The instructions advise the students to cut out the left circle into 8 sectors and shape their sectors into a parallelogram. Before the next step, we discuss as a class what the formula is for finding the area of a parallelogram and how we can use that to derive the formula for the area of a circle. My 7th graders usually spend about 20 minutes on this activity. They will need prior knowledge of the circumference formulas an

How to find the volume of a solid using the liquid displacement method

Created by

Judy Zapinsky

This is a short, animated, PowerPoint slide show, demonstrating the method used to find the volume of an irregular solid (a swimmer doll) using liquid displacement. The original volume of water in the graduated cylinder is measured, the swimmer races over to the graduated cylinder and jumps into the water, the water level rises, and the new volume of the water is measured. The subtraction of the two numbers is shown, along with the results.Note - It is also part of my bundled packages of lesson

Brittiny Zotzky

These are great for organizing group work and cuts out the questions on who can do what. You can print these out on full pages and display them or do what I do and print multiple per page so I can just hand them out to students during group work. That way, each student gets a chance to play each role and the responsibilities are right there on the card. If there is any way I can modify them to suit you better just let me know. Thanks and enjoy!

Skittles Proportion Activity

Created by

Schmidt Special Ed

Students are to be provided a bag of skittles. They are going to use proportions and ratios to determine if there are the same number/ratio of each color in all different sized bags. I had students work in groups of 2 for this activity. Within the activity I broke it up into three different sections; a pre-lab, lab, and post-lab portion. Students make initial guesses/hypothesis, test out their theory, use proportions and ratios to analyze their results and graph data.
