Depending on the number of students in your classroom and the amount of groups you like to have, you can either add temperature to choose from, or just allow groups to double up on selections. Also, you can have two groups select the same measurement and take opposing sides, one for the metric system and one against, so the students can have their own debate on the subject. I would recommend the students giving their own opinion, especially if it differs from the position they defended. pdboyer Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:23:06 GMT http://questgarden.com/author/create/preview.php?u=&l=66373-080603110141&a=&p=introduction&pt=student Through a study of traditional measurements and the metric system, students will learn why we need to agree on a system of measurements, and how these measurements were used throughout history. Introduction. Measurements are an important part of our everyday life and an integral part of our modern world.  Without them it would be impossible to determine how long it will take to get somewhere, how many of something we have, or who owns what.  pdboyer Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:17:53 GMT http://questgarden.com/00/79/0/050902134124/index.htm Comparing the Metric and U.S. systems of measurement. Introduction Introduction: Pretend that our school has decided to secede from the United States and become its own nation, “The United People of Knowledge.” There are many tasks ahead of your new country: electing a leader, writing a new set of laws, choosing a currency, creating a new flag, etc. One very important task to be preformed is to establish a standard set of Weights and Measures. pdboyer Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:09:10 GMT http://questgarden.com/54/35/5/070814050347/index.htm This webquest is set up to review the mathematical concepts of measurement and conversion with both the customary and the metric systems. It is my goal for these students to connect what they know about measurements to relationships they must use in science. My students should finish this quest with a better understanding of the interconnectedness of volume and capacity. Introduction Each student will have received 70 % or better on the pretest before beginning this quest. Those who need to will be getting some extra review before starting the quest.    As you will be using measurements in both math and science with different processes, it is important that you  have mastered skills in the measurement area. pdboyer Tue, 24 Aug 2010 19:04:59 GMT http://www.aaamath.com/mea.htm#topic50 This particular anchor is "Metric System" Metric Prefixes; Metric Symbols; Metric Number Values; Metric Values in Words pdboyer Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:07:18 GMT http://lamar.colostate.edu/~hillger/puzzles/ Metric puzzles and quizzes for secondary science.
