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

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 international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners create a map of a hidden surface using a "sounding stick" -- a technique similar to how underwater maps were once made.

In this activity, learners are challenged to calculate their own weight on various planets using a scale and calculator. Older learners may be challenged to do so without using calculators.

In this online activity, learners adjust mountain snowfall and temperature to see how glaciers grow and shrink. They will use scientific tools to measure thickness, velocity and glacial budget.

In this activity, learners test exhaled breath for carbon dioxide and learn how to use an indicator as a simple way to measure pH.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.
