In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

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 .

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.

In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their height in pennies.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this math activity, learners estimate how many pennies are in a jar by predicting and counting handfuls of pennies.

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

In this activity, learners explore the concepts of structural engineering and how to measure the critical load, or the maximum weight a structure can bear.

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

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

In this math lesson, learners explore the real world meaning of slope. Learners conduct a balloon experiment in which they measure the circumference and flight time of deflating balloons.

In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

In this activity, learners make and test fly paper helicopters. Learners use templates to create paper helicopters and then take take turns flying them in the air.

In this experiment, learners construct an equilateral triangle using graph paper, a pencil, protractor and ruler. They also make a "laser triangle" using a laser pointer and front-silvered mirrors.
