Measuring quarter inch worksheet

Introducing our customizable and interactive hands-on math lab activity: "Measure Up Math Lab!" This is designed for students to explore the measuring to the nearest 1/4 inch in a fun and tailored way.

In "Measure Up Math Lab," students will use a ruler to measure common classroom items and their neighbor's finger and thumb. This lab apart is customizable because it's made in Google Docs, allowing teachers to easily customize the activity by adding their own items to be measured. This flexibility ensures that the lab aligns perfectly with the unique needs of each classroom.

design experiment physics friction and traction

In this physics experiment, we will investigate and compare the traction of different shoes on a flat surface. By measuring the static friction and the coefficient of gravity, we aim to determine which shoe provides the best traction. Students conduct the experiment and draw a conclusion based on the collected data.

A Google Doc link is provided in case you want to modify or share the lab with your students.
