In this math activity, learners create their own units of measurement by making noodle rulers. Learners practice estimating and measuring objects using the noodle rulers .

In this activity, young learners and their caregivers use non-standard tools, like M&Ms and paper clips, to measure things around their home.

In this math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length.

In this activity, young learners use different-sized paper 'caterpillars' and various household items to predict and measure their height.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

This activity (located on page 2 of PDF) introduces learners to the real size of animals using nonstandard measurement.

In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their height in pennies.

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.

In this math activity, learners trace their hands and estimate the number of beans that can fit into their hand tracings. Then, learners glue the beans to the tracing to test out their estimations.

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

In this activity, learners "go fishing," then practice ruler use and size/pattern comparison with the animals they catch.

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore how to change the direction of water flow. Learners make puddles in dirt or use existing puddles and sticks to make water flow.

In this activity, learners will use their chosen material to build the tallest tower possible in under three minutes. This activity uses problem solving and fine motor skills to challenge learners.

In this activity, learners will construct a measuring device (snake "string") to improve their observation skills.

In this activity, learners of all ages can become food scientists by experimenting with flour and water to make basic pasta.

In this math activity, learners estimate how many pennies are in a jar by predicting and counting handfuls of pennies.

In this activity about ramps, learners explore and measure the rate at which spherical objects roll down a ramp.

In this investigation, learners plant seeds in a 2-liter bottle filled with soil that is connected to a water source below. Over the next few weeks, learners observe how the plants grow.

In this physics activity (page 12 of the PDF), learners explore potential and kinetic energy by rolling different sized marbles down an inclined plane.

Learners make kimchee or sauerkraut, which is really just fermented cabbage, in a 2-liter plastic bottle.
