T. Swift & Metrics- A Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Activity
I came up with this activity to teach the metric system to my gifted students. The problem centers around Taylor Swift going on tour and requiring some information from my students. You could definitely change the artist to someone more popular with your group of kids.
I posed the problem to them by having them read the situation titled "A Diva's Crisis." Then, they were assigned to groups and brainstormed a list of questions to put in the "W" section of a KWL chart (a teacher answer key is

How to Read Grams (g) and Kilograms (kg) on an Interactive Scale + Sample Lesson
This scale teaches students why sometimes we measure things in grams (g) and sometimes we measure things in kilograms (kg). There is a sample lesson that will help them better understand how to use and read a scale. The teacher can show how to use the scale then provide separate scales in Google Docs for students to play around with or to use as a tool. Made with the Ontario Education Curriculum in mind.

Then, they will trace themselves on a large piece of butcher block paper. On that same paper, they will sketch out the life-sized doll proportions and create a body outline of what the doll would look like if it were their same height. They should finish with something that looks terribly disproportionate. From there, you can have a debate
