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 (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 mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.

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 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.

In this activity, learners make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.

In this highly physical outdoor activity, learners construct and compare experimental trail sections to select the best trail-construction technique for their site.

In this activity, learners build their your own seismograph with household materials to document shaking.

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

This activity is designed to let learners measure their reaction time or response time to something they see.

In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.

In this activity, learners build a tool called an inclinometer that can find the height of any distant object, from a tree to the North Star.

How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?

In this exercise (Activity #2 on page), learners test their distance vision to evaluate their overall eyesight.

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