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.

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.

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 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.

Learners take a field trip along a local body of water and conduct a visual survey to discover information about local land use and water quality.

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.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design) is a full inquiry investigation into absorption and reflection of radiant energy.
