[eMINTS] standard measurement ideaGloria Craig craigg at nhr3.k12.mo.usTue Mar 4 10:32:40 CST 2008
Do you have access to a sand table? Instructions to build a castle using measured sand for each part might be a fun idea.

It requires cereals, chips, etc. Another idea is trail mix. Johna Bequette Johna Bequette 5th Grade eMINTS Classroom Ste.

I would use different colors so they can see it and count it after it is done. To take the lesson into a science lesson, use different densities of liquids to show some conversions. I use food coloring to color my liquids such as corn syrup, rubbing alchol, water, and I forgot the other liquid to show density but can be used w/conversions as well. rebecca kleveland-meyer centralia middle school ----- Original Message Follows ----- From: "Brenda Adcock" <AdcockB at nhr3.k12.mo.us> To: "'General discussion for eMINTS program participants'" <emints at lists.emints.org> Subject: Spam:****, Re: [eMINTS] standard measurement Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 14:21:29 -0600 > Are you allowed to use the microwave?

I went to local fast food resturants and gas stations and found out how much their cups in small, medium, and large held and the cost.... I than had the kids find out exactly how much liquid they held by putting water in the cups and measuring it, some found out that the cup held more or less than it said it held... we than compared how much liquid was in the cup and the amount it costed and found out which was the best buy.... This might kind of incorporate your objective.... It is also a fun lesson... >>> JFessenden at hannibal.k12.mo.us 02/29/08 10:13 AM >>> I am looking for any activities to teach standard measurement or ways to aid memorization of conversions.
