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.

In this activity, learners make an astrolabe, a device used for measuring altitude, including the height of objects in the sky.

This lesson focuses on two simple activities that younger learners can do to gain an appreciation of nanotechnology. First, learners measure their hands in nanometers.

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

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a machine out of cardboard that runs smoothly and dependably. Learners must be precise to make sure their component works properly.

In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

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

In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

In this robotics activity, learners drive a remote-controlled car through a course to learn the challenges faced while trying to operate a planetary rover.

In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.
