In this activity, learners compare the ancient Egyptian system of measurement, which was based on body lengths, to the customary and metric systems used today.

This activity (located on page 2 of PDF) introduces learners to the real size of animals using nonstandard measurement.

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 Cyberchase activity, learners use math to explore how parts of the body are proportional.

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 activity, learners make three different "seed" types and determine which design flies the farthest.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners investigate how much sugar is in a soda. Learners use sugar cubes to measure and calculate the amount of sugar in a bottle of soda.

This activity is designed to let learners measure their reaction time or response time to something they see.

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.

How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?

In this activity, learners investigate whether more people are squares or rectangles. People with similarly sized heights and arm spans are classified as squares.

In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.

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

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

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this activity, learners explore a scale by comparing objects, which look similar but have different weights. Learners predict and then measure the weights of various objects using a scale.

In this activity, learners take their own pulse and explore how heart rate is affected by various activities.

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

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory), learners will investigate what happens to bubble gum when it is chewed for 5-10 minutes.
