In this math lesson, learners practice estimation and measurement skills as they move from station to station calculating length, volume, weight, and area.

In this math lesson, learners explore and investigate measurement using standard and non-standard units.

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 activity, learners explore how spring scales work and how they are used for non-exact weight measurement.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their own vital lung capacities.

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 take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

In this activity, learners explore the concepts of structural engineering and how to measure the critical load, or the maximum weight a structure can bear.

In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.

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

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

In this activity, learners use ABS pipe and an air leaf blower to make a strong shooting machine.

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

In this activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.
