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 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 will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

In this math lesson, learners measure, predict and determine the frequency of an event as it relates to how close Whirlybirds land to a target.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

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 decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick) is a full inquiry investigation into transfer of motion.

In this math lesson, learners estimate distances between landmarks and use a map and scales to determine the actual distances.

In this math lesson, learners use hinged mirrors to discover that regular polygons are composed of triangles tessellating around a center point.

In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.

In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

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

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

In this math lesson, learners compare products to determine the best product.

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.

In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.
