In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

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

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.

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.

Put the math of measurement, numbers, and everyday life into improvisational skits.

In this activity (page 105 of the PDF), learners measure heart rate and blood pressure and learn how to obtain consistent measurements during repeated tests.

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

In this health activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will explore a unique connection betweeen the bones of the body.

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.

This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

In this activity, learners make a barometer, an instrument to measure change in air pressure.

This lesson focuses on how to measure at the nanoscale and provides learners with an understanding how small a nanometer really is.

In this outdoor activity, learners measure familiar objects in nature to practice working with the metric system.

In this indoor and/or outdoor activity, learners make an anemometer (an instrument to measure wind speed) out of a protractor, a ping pong ball and a length of thread or fishing line.

In this activity, learners make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.

In this highly physical outdoor activity, learners construct and compare experimental trail sections to select the best trail-construction technique for their site.

In this activity, learners build their your own seismograph with household materials to document shaking.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners investigate how much sugar is in a soda. Learners use sugar cubes to measure and calculate the amount of sugar in a bottle of soda.

In this outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.
