In this health activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will explore a unique connection betweeen the bones of the body.

This lesson focuses on how to measure at the nanoscale and provides learners with an understanding how small a nanometer really is.

In this activity, learners measure and calculate the amount of cubic feet various containers contain. Next, learners investigate cubic feet per second (cps), by carrying jugs in one second.

In this activity, learners measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a carbonated drink.

In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will measure the rate at which water streams out of a leaky cup.

In this activity about the brain and sleep (on page 138 of the PDF), learners measure their resting breathing rates. Learners will discover that breathing frequencies vary amongst individuals.

In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Balloon Fiesta Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into Bernoulli’s principle and airplane wings.

In this math lesson, learners use fruit to learn about proportions and percentages. Learners compare the weights of the edible and non-edible portions of fruit.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find the volume of one mole of gas. Learners capture sublimated gas from dry ice in a ziploc bag and use water displacement to measure its volume.

Get all wrapped up in a lesson about skin!

In this activity, learners investigate the formation of craters. Learners will examine how the size, angle and speed of a meteorite's impact affects the properties of craters.

In this activity about ramps, learners explore and measure the rate at which spherical objects roll down a ramp.

In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

In this activity, learners interpret three trackways and use measurements and a formula to infer the relative speed of dinosaurs.

Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.

In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.

In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

Learners create a tool to measure how well they grip a wet object when their fingers are smooth versus wrinkly. Are smooth or wrinkly fingers better at holding on to the object?
