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

In this self-measuring activity, learners measure and record the length of their foot.

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 math lesson, learners practice estimation and measurement skills as they move from station to station calculating length, volume, weight, and area.

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

In this math lesson, learners participate in several activities where they apply measurement skills.

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

This activity (located on page 2 of PDF) introduces learners to the real size of animals using nonstandard measurement.

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

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.

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 three different "seed" types and determine which design flies the farthest.

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

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

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

In this activity, learners will measure the length of their shadow from the Sun and compare it three to four months later.
