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

In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth.

In this math lesson (page 2 of the PDF), learners use bottles of various shapes to explore the abstract concept of rate of change.

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 math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe

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.

Learners use a variety of beans to represent a variety of species, and scatter these beans over a large piece of paper representing the environment.

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

In this outdoor activity linking human health to the environment, learners use their pulse rates as a measure of the effort expended in walking on different slopes.

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.

In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

In this activity, learners investigate how geometry plays a role in perspective.

In this lab activity, learners explore how to initiate a density current. Learners measure six flasks with different concentrations of salt and water (colored blue).

In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.

In this activity, learners will explore how the human brain interprets environmental stimuli.
