In this math lesson, learners participate in several activities where they apply measurement skills.

In this activity, learners make a barometer, an instrument to measure change in air pressure.

In this nutrition and estimation activity (page 12 of PDF), learners estimate serving sizes of different foods and compare their estimates to serving size information provided on nutrition food labels

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

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.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick) is a full inquiry investigation into transfer of motion.

In this activity learners observe mold growth on different types of bread by measuring and recording the growth rate.

In this activity, learners build a stuffed-animal zip line. Learners hold a cord against a wall, hook a cute stuffed animal onto it, let the animal slide down, and records its travel time.

In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this activity (on pages 18-28), learners explore how the shape of seeds affects how they are dispersed by wind, birds, ocean currents and other means.

In this activity about saturation (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes), learners will build a series of sand castle towers using a 16 oz cup.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

In this math lesson, learners use a variety of manipulatives to explore spatial relationships of squares and their transformations.

In this math lesson, learners compare products to determine the best product.

In this activity, learners use a compass, powerful magnet, and copper magnet wire to build a special generator known as a dynamo.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.
