Science Measures Up By Adriana Bird

Right now, in sixth grade science, we are learning all about the metric system.  We have been using tools such as the  triple beam balance to find the mass, and graduated cylinders to find the volume.  We have also been learning about metric conversions.  Around Halloween time, sixth grade students had fun finding the mass, volume, and length of various Halloween related objects.  Also, we had the opportunity to work at stations where we had to measure many different objects to improve our skills. Even though  measurement is usually covered in math class, at TMS science really measures up!
