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 fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

Put the math of measurement, numbers, and everyday life into improvisational skits.

In this math activity, each learner creates a book about themselves using a template. Learners discuss the different parts of the body and practice measuring their body parts using crayons.

This is an activity that models the operation of a seismograph, a tool used to measure the size of earthquakes.

In this activity, learners build their your own seismograph with household materials to document shaking.

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

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.

In this health and fitness activity, learners focus on the importance of daily physical activity, specifically walking.

In this self-measuring activity, learners observe and record how many times a minute they blink, take a breath, and chew, as well as how many times a minute their heart beats.
