"I really wanted to attend an institution that was somewhat of a community -- something small -- and to connect with professors and with the administration and have them know my name. And, because of MCLA's internship program, I was able to get my foot in the door at a very prominent company which jump-started my career."

Measurement and Metric
The following links contain lesson plans, teaching materials and information based on metric.

Metric Mania Lessons - My metric unit includes labs on length, mass, volume, density, and temperature as well as conversions (metric to metric and metric to English). Students have many opportunities to use rulers, triple-beam balances, and other science equipment to learn how to use the metric system of measurements. Student worksheets included.

 

The Teachers Corner - measurement lesson plans grades 4-8, check them out!

 

Figure This - Measurement challenges for families.

 

Math Cat - Fun free elementary math pages with lesson plans and activities, both hands on and on-line.

 

Online Conversion Tables - Convert just about anything to anything else.
Over 5,000 units, and 50,000 conversions.
