CCSS.Math.Content.1.MD.A.2 Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps.

This activity is great for all learners because it takes an abstract concept like mass (weight) and provides a visual for students to think about, in terms of 1 crayon equals 2 erasers in mass, or 2 crayons equal 1 pencil in length). It provides opportunities for ELL and low English speaking students to work with measurement on terms they are familiar with. It could be extended by switching to standard units of measurement such as inches, centimeters, or grams.

-
CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l).1 Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem.
-
-
Student practice estimating weight and measurement. Students learn to compare different objects and record their weights based on ratios. For example, I crayon euqals 2 erasers (in terms of weight) or 2 crayons equals 1 colored pencil in terms of length.

STANDARDS: SCI.3.2.1 2010 Examine the physical properties of rock samples and sort them into categories based on size using simple tools such as sieves. SCI.3.2.2 2010 Observe the detailed characteristics of rocks and minerals. Identify rocks as being composed of different combinations of minerals. SCI.3.2.3 2010 Classify and identify minerals by their physical properties of hardness, color, luster and streak. ADAPTATION: Teacher can differentiate the types of observations the students make.... some students could observe and comment on the texture, patterns, and number of surfaces of the rock while lower performing groups can focus more on observing the color, shape, and size of the rocks EXTENSION: Students can start a rock garden. If the school has an area where rocks tend to gather, students can collects rocks from that sight, label them, put them into a small box of dirt (garden) and take them home.

Next time you bake a cake, consider this. The cake dough is not really a cake, but when it's heated in the oven, a chemical reaction occurs and new bonds are formed. How does heat change things? When it comes to heat changing a chemical reaction, there are two types. One is "exothermic," a reaction that produces heat, and the other is "endothermic," a reaction that takes heat in. When you make a cake, you a producing an endothermic chemical reaction which changes batter to baked!

Although I really like how this activity involves all aspects of trip planning, it could be adapted for less-advanced students by simply having them measure rather than calculate out travel time. Students could still come up with the total distance, but travel time could be turned into a group activity that the class and teacher solve together until students become more confident in their abilities.
-
-
A more advanced activity which uses maps and measurements and incorporates multiplication and calculation of travel time. This activity is a great application of real-world skills!
