Make snack time into measuring time and learn to read Nutrition Facts labels. Try this when you’re using “pourable” foods, such as cereal, yoghurt, or juice.

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 will make and launch feather rockets. Lerners will use science process skils such as making predictions and measuring while launching the rockets.

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

In this math lesson (page 2 of the PDF), learners use bottles of various shapes to explore the abstract concept of rate of change.

To learn how friction affects motion, learners build a measurement tool from a rubber band and other simple materials.

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 make an equatorial sundial, which is simple to construct and teaches fundamental astronomical concepts. Learners use the provided template and a straw to build the sundial.

In this activity about flight, learners explore how high they can jump. Learners dip their finger in ink or dirt, then jump as high as they can and mark paper attached to the wall.

In this activity, learners explore how and why rainbows form by creating rainbows in a variety of ways using simple materials. Learners create rainbows indoors and outdoors.

In this math activity, learners observe and sketch cracking patterns in pavement.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners use common materials to construct a rain gauge and measure daily, monthly, and yearly rainfall.

In this activity, learners calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.

Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners explore circadian rhythms by keeping track of their body temperature.

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?

In this lab activity, learners explore how to initiate a density current. Learners measure six flasks with different concentrations of salt and water (colored blue).

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the forces of gravity and air pressure.

In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.

In this inquiry-based lesson, learners measure the biomass of trees, calculate the carbon stored by the trees, and use this information to create recommendations about using trees for carbon sequestra
