In this activity learners will plant grass seed and track the growth of the grass over time.

In this math lesson, learners rotate through various centers while comparing and ordering objects according to length.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most. Then, learners estimate the size of a Triceratops and T.

In this activity, learners keep track of how much paper the group uses in a week. Build awareness of paper waste, while strengthening measurement and estimation skills.

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 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 self-measuring activity, learners observe and record how many times a minute they blink, take a breath, and chew, as well as how many times a minute their heart beats.

In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.

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

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 107: My Shrinking Shoes, learners observe how plants change as they grow.

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

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

Straws and pipe cleaners are terrific materials for building models of pyramids and cubes.

In this activity, learners use their senses to collect information about a fruit and record their findings in a Science Journal.

In this activity, learners develop an understanding of cylinders and volume as they compare two sizes of popcorn buckets.

In this activity, learners will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.

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.

Put math of measurement into lining up — and make waiting in line fun. Choose a size characteristic that learners can physically compare, such as foot length or hair length.

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