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, learners use an astrolabe to measure the altitude of objects. Learners will first practice taking measurements by measuring the altitude of trees and buildings.

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 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 movement and measurement activity, learners jump as far as they can three times, and compare their longest jump to the longest jump of their friends, classmates and/or family members.

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 activity, learners make an astrolabe, a device used for measuring altitude, including the height of objects in the sky.

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.

This is an activity about turbidity, or the amount of sediment suspended in water.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons and anatomy. Learners make observations about a T. rex skeleton diagram and then measure the skeleton length and width.

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

In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

In this combination chemistry and physics activity, learners explore water absorption in dried beans or peas and learn how this affects their physical properties.

In this activity, learners will estimate the sizes of balls to learn how to estimate the size of hail. Learners will compare their estimates to the estimates of their peers and the real measurements.

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

In this activity, learners investigate the formation of craters. Learners will examine how the size, angle and speed of a meteorite's impact affects the properties of craters.
