In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

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

In this math lesson, learners predict, interpret, and sketch graphs of functions related to the shapes of bottles. A measure of water is poured into a container.

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

This lesson focuses on two simple activities that younger learners can do to gain an appreciation of nanotechnology. First, learners measure their hands in nanometers.

In this activity, learners explore how spring scales work and how they are used for non-exact weight measurement.

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

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

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, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

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

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

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 meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

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

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

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

In this activity, learners test the rate of ripening fruit and vegetables and use a chemical to inhibit the ripening process.
