In this activity, learners will be able to measure themselves in nanometers. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, a unit of measurement used in nanotechnology.

In this activity (located on page 4 of PDF), learners gain insight into the actual size of dinosaurs and practice making estimations and measurements.

Make snack time into measuring time and learn to read Nutrition Facts labels. Try this when you’re using “pourable” foods, such as cereal, yoghurt, or juice.

In this activity, learners compare the ancient Egyptian system of measurement, which was based on body lengths, to the customary and metric systems used today.

Using a real-size sketch of a baby elephant's footprint, learners estimate, measure and record the width (diameter) and outside edge length (perimeter or circumference) of the footprint.

In this Cyberchase activity, learners use math to explore how parts of the body are proportional.

In this activity, learners mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.

In this activity, learners investigate circulation and measure their own your heartbeat. A heart rate, or pulse, is the number of times the heart beats per minute.

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

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 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 investigate whether more people are squares or rectangles. People with similarly sized heights and arm spans are classified as squares.

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

In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

This activity combines learning about nutrition, math of measurement and proportion, and healthy eating. Start by distributing food packages with Nutrition Facts labeled.

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

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 explore how and why rainbows form by creating rainbows in a variety of ways using simple materials. Learners create rainbows indoors and outdoors.

In this activity, learners take their own pulse and explore how heart rate is affected by various activities.

In this activity, learners sniff out scents hidden in balloons! After investigating, learners discover we sometimes can use another sense (smell) to detect things too small to see.
