Effects of Solar Radiation on Land and Sea
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

Handy Measuring Ratio
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use their hands as tools for indirect measurement.

Stride Ruler
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use their feet to estimate distances. Learners calculate the distance of one step in centimeters by measuring 10 steps at a time to reduce measurement error.

How Big Were the Dinosaurs?
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 4 of PDF), learners gain insight into the actual size of dinosaurs and practice making estimations and measurements.
Pace-Off!
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners use non-standard measurement (paces) to find the distance from one point to another. Learners practice estimating and measuring distances .

Jump Like a Frog
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners jump and measure how far they can jump on different surfaces using different jumping techniques.

Mega Bounce
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

Counting With Quadrants
Source Institutions
Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

The Shadow Knows I
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will measure the length of their shadow from the Sun and compare it three to four months later.

Super Bounce
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

Take It in Stride
Source Institutions
In this health and fitness activity, learners focus on the importance of daily physical activity, specifically walking.

Stepping Out: Hop, Skip, Jump
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.

Experiencing Parallax With Your Thumb
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

Launch Altitude Tracker
Source Institutions
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.

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

Equatorial Sundial
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make an equatorial sundial, which is simple to construct and teaches fundamental astronomical concepts. Learners use the provided template and a straw to build the sundial.
Is It Possible: Estimating Measurement
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.

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

Base Station Walk-Back
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will train to improve lung, heart, and other muscle endurance as they walk a progressive, measured distance.

Backyard Graphing
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners will create a scale diagram of their backyard or other outdoor area on graph paper.
