In this activity, learners use their hands as tools for indirect measurement.

In this activity, learners use their feet to estimate distances. Learners calculate the distance of one step in centimeters by measuring 10 steps at a time to reduce measurement error.

In this activity, young learners use different-sized paper 'caterpillars' and various household items to predict and measure their height.

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

In this math lesson, learners practice measurement skills as they examine a soap bubble print. Learners follow a recipe to make a soap bubble solution.

In this activity, learners make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.

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.

This activity is designed to let learners measure their reaction time or response time to something they see.

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

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 activity, learners investigate whether more people are squares or rectangles. People with similarly sized heights and arm spans are classified as squares.

This activity introduces the idea that computer scientists measure information by how "surprising" a message is.

In this activity, learners measure the amount of carbon dioxide in a carbonated drink.

In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth.

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

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will measure the rate at which water streams out of a leaky cup.

Create a “Find Someone” list, with about 10 items, each containing a shape, number, or measurement. Can you find someone in the group with hair about 4 inches long? Someone wearing parallel lines?

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

In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe
