How do you measure a bubble when it's floating? You can't really, but in this activity, learners can measure the diameter of the ring of suds a bubble leaves on a flat surface.

In this Cyberchase activity, have fun measuring volumes and enjoy a delicious shake.

In this activity (page 105 of the PDF), learners measure heart rate and blood pressure and learn how to obtain consistent measurements during repeated tests.

In this activity, learners use a hand-made protractor to measure angles they find in playground equipment.

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.

This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

In this indoor and/or outdoor activity, learners make an anemometer (an instrument to measure wind speed) out of a protractor, a ping pong ball and a length of thread or fishing line.

In this activity, learners make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.

In this activity, learners build a tool called an inclinometer that can find the height of any distant object, from a tree to the North Star.

This is an activity about turbidity, or the amount of sediment suspended in water.

In this activity, learners create a map of a hidden surface using a "sounding stick" -- a technique similar to how underwater maps were once made.

In this activity, caregivers and young learners work together to make a scale from household materials to compare different weights--an essential principle in early math.

In this chemistry activity, learners will test the pH of various foods and household substances using cabbage.

In this activity, learners will build thier own balance scale. Learners will explore weight and comparison through this activity.

In this activity, learners will use their chosen material to build the tallest tower possible in under three minutes. This activity uses problem solving and fine motor skills to challenge learners.

Yes, you can weigh your car by figuring out your wheel's tire pressure combined with the "tire's footprint." You'll need someone with a car, driver's license, and safety in mind.

In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

In this activity, learners create a kind of balance device using a wire coat hanger, some string, and paper cups.

In this activity (26th on the page), learners construct an easy-to-build device and test motor learning.

In this physics activity (page 12 of the PDF), learners explore potential and kinetic energy by rolling different sized marbles down an inclined plane.
