Peer reviewedBrumbaugh, Douglas K.; Hynes, Michael C. – School Science and Mathematics, 1979
This activity, for grades 7-12, requires students to lay out an arena for training horses. To do this the students compute the sum of metric linear measures, compute the circumference of circles and semi-circles, and use the Pythagorean Theorem. (BB)

Peer reviewedOlson, Judith; Olson, Melfried – School Science and Mathematics, 1982
A series of situations is suggested incorporating hands-on activities involving concrete experiences with measurement. It is felt that the activities used to teach mathematics and science at the Middle School level need to be specifically suited for the young adolescent. Extensions are possible for in-depth investigations for more advanced…

Peer reviewedHedgepeth, David J. – School Science and Mathematics, 1995
Presents an activity integrating mathematics and science intended to introduce students to the use of metric measurement of mass as a way to increase the meaningfulness of observations about variables in life sciences. Involves measuring the nutrient tolerance of algae. Contains a reproducible algae nutrient graph. (Author/MKR)
