In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

In this activity, learners use their hands as tools for indirect measurement.

Learners measure irregularly shaped bones using a variety of measurement methods and tools. Then, they measure again using standard conventions and metric tape measures.

In this activity, learners will be able to measure themselves in nanometers. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, a unit of measurement used in nanotechnology.

In this activity, learners use their feet to estimate distances. Learners calculate the distance of one step in centimeters by measuring 10 steps at a time to reduce measurement error.

In this activity, learners use an astrolabe to measure the altitude of objects. Learners will first practice taking measurements by measuring the altitude of trees and buildings.

Make snack time into measuring time and learn to read Nutrition Facts labels. Try this when you’re using “pourable” foods, such as cereal, yoghurt, or juice.

How do you measure a bubble when it's floating? You can't really, but in this activity, learners can measure the diameter of the ring of suds a bubble leaves on a flat surface.

Put the math of measurement, numbers, and everyday life into improvisational skits.

In this math lesson, learners apply measurement skills to determine, in dollar bills, the capacity of a suitcase.

In this activity (page 105 of the PDF), learners measure heart rate and blood pressure and learn how to obtain consistent measurements during repeated tests.

In this activity, learners use a hand-made protractor to measure angles they find in playground equipment.

In this activity, learners mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.

In this health activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will explore a unique connection betweeen the bones of the body.

This is an activity that models the operation of a seismograph, a tool used to measure the size of earthquakes.

In this movement and measurement activity, learners jump as far as they can three times, and compare their longest jump to the longest jump of their friends, classmates and/or family members.

This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

In this activity, learners make a barometer, an instrument to measure change in air pressure.

This lesson focuses on how to measure at the nanoscale and provides learners with an understanding how small a nanometer really is.
