Mass and Weight
Students explore the science topics of mass and weight. In this mass and weight instructional activity, students determine the difference between mass and weight as they discuss the definitions and the application the definitions.
Perkins School for the Blind
Volume, Mass, and Density Boxes
Mass and density are difficult topics for kids to understand, and even more difficult when you have visual impairments or blindness. Learners will make boxes and fill them with cotton, sand, or crushed paper. They will feel the density...

Metric Conversions
Students measure an assortment of items using metric measurements. In this measurement instructional activity, students measure using length, mass, and volume units of measurement. They convert between units. Students learn a mnemonic to...
Curated OER
Measuring Weight, Mass, 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...
Curated OER
Converting Units of Capacity, Weight, Mass, and Area
In this math worksheet, pupils solve the problems using measurement conversions. They concentrate on the units used for capacity, weight, mass, and area.

Physics and Me
Sixth graders compare and contrast mass and weight. In this physics activity, 6th graders calculate speed given distance and time information. They construct a rocket and relate this to Newton's 3rd Law of motion.
Curated OER
Masses and Weights
Young scholars 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.
