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

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.

In this activity, learners work in pairs to measure each other's ankles with lengths of string.

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

This activity (on pages 16-23) lets learners measure each other's vital signs—the signs that help doctors understand what's going on in a patient body.

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their own vital lung capacities.

In this activity, learners use a compact disc to make a spectrometer, an instrument used to measure properties of light.

Get all wrapped up in a lesson about skin!

Learners use a variety of beans to represent a variety of species, and scatter these beans over a large piece of paper representing the environment.

In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.

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.

In this outdoor activity linking human health to the environment, learners use their pulse rates as a measure of the effort expended in walking on different slopes.

In this activity, learners discover that our hands are not reliable thermometers.

In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.

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

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

In this activity, learners will explore how the human brain interprets environmental stimuli.

In this activity, learners cut wells in JELL-O© and load the wells with different detergent solutions.
