In this activity, learners work in pairs to measure each other's ankles with lengths of string.

In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete

In this activity, learners use measurement concepts to make models of what their body parts might look like if they were a snake or a chameleon.

In this nutrition and estimation activity (page 12 of PDF), learners estimate serving sizes of different foods and compare their estimates to serving size information provided on nutrition food labels

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.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides) is a full inquiry investigation into speed and motion and takes place at a water park.

In this health and fitness activity, learners focus on the importance of daily physical activity, specifically walking.

How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?

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.

This activity (on pages 16-23) lets learners measure each other's vital signs—the signs that help doctors understand what's going on in a patient body.

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 activity, learners will measure their lung capacity by making their own spirometer. Learners will then explore factors that affect the amount of air the lungs can hold.

In this activity about the brain and sleep (on page 138 of the PDF), learners measure their resting breathing rates. Learners will discover that breathing frequencies vary amongst individuals.

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

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

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their own vital lung capacities.

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