Effects of Solar Radiation on Land and Sea
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.
Measuring Rules
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners create their own units of measurement by making noodle rulers. Learners practice estimating and measuring objects using the noodle rulers .
Lengths of Ladybugs
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length.
Caterpillar Measure
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners use different-sized paper 'caterpillars' and various household items to predict and measure their height.
Shady Snakes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make pretend snakes and use them to explore estimation and measurement. Learners roll out clay snakes and estimate and measure their lengths and diameters.
Small Snails, Enormous Elephants
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 2 of PDF) introduces learners to the real size of animals using nonstandard measurement.
Stack-o-Pennies Shop
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their height in pennies.
Measurement: Bubble Mania
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners practice measurement skills as they examine a soap bubble print. Learners follow a recipe to make a soap bubble solution.
Space Stations: Measure Up!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in pairs to measure each other's ankles with lengths of string.
Animals are Amazing!
Source Institutions
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.
The Right Fit
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners trace their hands and estimate the number of beans that can fit into their hand tracings. Then, learners glue the beans to the tracing to test out their estimations.
Balloon Impacts
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners measure the diameter of their water balloons, model an impact, measure the diameter of the “crater” area, and determine the ratio of impactor to crater.
Take It in Stride
Source Institutions
In this health and fitness activity, learners focus on the importance of daily physical activity, specifically walking.
A Question of Balance
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers use scales and measures when designing a manufacturing process to ensure that final products are uniform in weight or count.
Measure the Speed of a Water Leak
Source Institutions
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.
Does Air Weigh Anything?
Source Institutions
The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.
Map That Habitat
Source Institutions
Historically, sea floor mapping (bathymetry) was done by soundings.
Catch Your Breath: Build a Spirometer and Measure your Lung Capacity
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will measure their lung capacity by making their own spirometer. Learners will then explore factors that affect the amount of air the lungs can hold.
Light on Other Planets
Source Institutions
In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe
Lungometer
Source Institutions
In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their own vital lung capacities.
