In this activity, learners compare the ancient Egyptian system of measurement, which was based on body lengths, to the customary and metric systems used today.

In this activity, learners make three different "seed" types and determine which design flies the farthest.

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

In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.
