Pour Some: Measure Serving Size
Source Institutions
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.
Compare Dinosaur Body Parts
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most to learn about the different sizes of dinosaurs.
Serving Sizes
Source Institutions
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
Supersize That Dinosaur
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most. Then, learners estimate the size of a Triceratops and T.
Launch Altitude Tracker
Source Institutions
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.
Measuring Your Breathing Frequency at Rest
Source Institutions
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.
Is It Possible: Estimating Measurement
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.
Size, Scale and Models
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.
Soccer Kicks
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick) is a full inquiry investigation into transfer of motion.
Relative Speed of Dinosaurs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners interpret three trackways and use measurements and a formula to infer the relative speed of dinosaurs.
Can Energy be Created or Destroyed?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.
Soaring Towers: Building with Recycled Materials
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.
Up, Up, and Away
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore the real world meaning of slope. Learners conduct a balloon experiment in which they measure the circumference and flight time of deflating balloons.
Investigating Density Currents
Source Institutions
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).
Heart Rate and Exercise
Source Institutions
In this activity about heart health (on page 27 of the PDF), learners measure their heart rates after a variety of physical activities and compare the results with their resting heart rates, and with
Bean Bugs
Source Institutions
In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.
Newton Car
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.
Using a Sundial
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.
Our Sense of Sight: Eye Anatomy and Function
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.
Plugged in to CO2
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.
