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

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

In this activity, learners measure and calculate the amount of cubic feet various containers contain. Next, learners investigate cubic feet per second (cps), by carrying jugs in one second.

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratio and proportion to determine the length of the Statue of Liberty's torch-bearing arm.

In this activity, learners use recycled materials to build a bridge that holds as many potatoes as possible. They investigate weight, height, strength, and measurement as they seek design solutions.

In this activity, learners measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a carbonated drink.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will measure the rate at which water streams out of a leaky cup.

In this activity about the brain and sleep (on page 138 of the PDF), learners measure their resting breathing rates. Learners will discover that breathing frequencies vary amongst individuals.

In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into Bernoulli’s principle and airplane wings.

In this math lesson, learners use fruit to learn about proportions and percentages. Learners compare the weights of the edible and non-edible portions of fruit.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find the volume of one mole of gas. Learners capture sublimated gas from dry ice in a ziploc bag and use water displacement to measure its volume.

Get all wrapped up in a lesson about skin!

In this activity, learners discover the importance of maps and scale as they work together to create a map of the classroom.

In this activity, learners investigate the formation of craters. Learners will examine how the size, angle and speed of a meteorite's impact affects the properties of craters.

In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

In this activity, learners interpret three trackways and use measurements and a formula to infer the relative speed of dinosaurs.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.
