Product Description
This book is a perfect sequel to Measuring Length. It continues with the study of area, volume and mass and the metric units that measure these quantities. Your students will investigate metric relationships by building metric models and fitting them together. On an improvised microbalance they ll discover that their cubic centimeter model holds 1 mL of water and has a mass of 1 gram. They ll extend this idea a thousand fold by balancing a liter of water opposite a kilogram of gravel on a balanced meter stick. They ll estimate the number of rice grains that fill a baby food jar, the volume of water wasted by a dripping faucet. The book is organized into three main parts: INTRODUCTION * A TOPS Model for Effective Science Teaching * Getting Ready * Gathering Materials * Sequencing Task Cards * Long Range Objectives * Review / Test Questions TEACHING NOTES (20 lessons) * Decimal Ladder (1) * Decimal Ladder (2) * Decimal Ladder (3) * Length, Area, Volume... * Millions and Billions * Our Small Speck *Sizing Up a Cylinder * Liquid Volume * Liter Buckets * Pouring Grams * Mass x Distance * Kilos and Pounds * Build a Microbalance * Millimasses * Pass the Rice * Mass Estimate * Volume Estimate * Area Estimate * How Can This Be? * Ton of Water REPRODUCIBLE LINE MASTERS * 20 Open-Ended Task Cards * Centimeter Ruler * Centimeter GridAuthor: Ron Marson, Illustrated by Peg MarsonSubject Area: MeasurementLevel: Grades 8-12Format: 56 pages, PaperbackPublisher: TOPS Learning Systems (1992)ISBN: 0-941008-76-2
