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.

This activity is designed to let learners measure their reaction time or response time to something they see.

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

In this exercise (Activity #2 on page), learners test their distance vision to evaluate their overall eyesight.

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 will train to improve lung, heart, and other muscle endurance as they walk a progressive, measured distance.

In this activity (9th activity on the page), learners work in pairs to see how their perception of touch differs from reality.

In this online activity, learners measure their pulse rates and investigate how their pulses change when they engage in different activities.

In this experiment, pairs of learners explore how cold water affects circulation. The mammalian diving reflex (MDR) slows circulation when the body is exposed to cold water.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers incorporate biometric technologies into products as well as the challenges of engineers who must weigh privacy, security and other issues when designin

Use this hands-on activity to demonstrate infrared and thermal radiation.

In this activity about heart health (on page 27 of the PDF), learners measure their heart rates after a variety of physical activities and compare the results with their resting heart rates, and with
