In this math lesson, learners use inchworm measuring tools to measure the lengths of several objects in the room.

In this activity (located on page 4 of PDF), learners gain insight into the actual size of dinosaurs and practice making estimations and measurements.

In this math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length.

In this activity, young learners use different-sized paper 'caterpillars' and various household items to predict and measure their height.

Using a real-size sketch of a baby elephant's footprint, learners estimate, measure and record the width (diameter) and outside edge length (perimeter or circumference) of the footprint.

In this activity, learners make pretend snakes and use them to explore estimation and measurement. Learners roll out clay snakes and estimate and measure their lengths and diameters.

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

In this movement and measurement activity, learners jump as far as they can three times, and compare their longest jump to the longest jump of their friends, classmates and/or family members.

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 math lesson, learners rotate through various centers while comparing and ordering objects according to length.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most. Then, learners estimate the size of a Triceratops and T.

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

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons and anatomy. Learners make observations about a T. rex skeleton diagram and then measure the skeleton length and width.

In this activity, learners "go fishing," then practice ruler use and size/pattern comparison with the animals they catch.

In this activity, learners will construct a measuring device (snake "string") to improve their observation skills.

In this math activity, learners build Peppy the dog the best trail and park for running around.

In this math activity related to volume, learners use problem solving skills to calculate and build a model house for Minus the dog.

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.

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

In this activity, learners will explore how the human brain interprets environmental stimuli.
