Big Bubbles
Source Institutions
How do you measure a bubble when it's floating? You can't really, but in this activity, learners can measure the diameter of the ring of suds a bubble leaves on a flat surface.

Exploring Size: Measure Yourself
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.

Piles of Paper: Estimate Paper Use
Source Institutions
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.

Make A Map for A Treasure Hunt
Source Institutions
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.

Blink
Source Institutions
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.
Growing Plants: Track Their Growth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

Globe at Night
Source Institutions
In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.
Is It Possible: Estimating Measurement
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.

Topographic Investigation: Map an Underwater Surface
Source Institutions
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.

Line Up: Using Math To Stand In Line
Source Institutions
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.

Balancing Act
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build thier own balance scale. Learners will explore weight and comparison through this activity.

Exploring Size: Memory Game
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.
Math and Creativity Posters
Source Institutions
These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How many colors can you name in a minute? or How many seconds can you balance on one foot?
Soaring Towers: Building with Recycled Materials
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

Bubbles: Using Controls
In this experiment, learners use JOY liquid detergent and glycerin to make the largest bubble they can that lasts 15 seconds.

Exploring Size: Scented Solutions
Source Institutions
This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).
Double or More
Source Institutions
Choose a recipe to double (or triple, quadruple, or halve). Show everyone the recipe and engage them in figuring out: How much will we need to increase the recipe to feed everyone?
