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.

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

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.
