In this Cyberchase activity, have fun measuring volumes and enjoy a delicious shake.

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, learners explore how engineers use scales and measures when designing a manufacturing process to ensure that final products are uniform in weight or count.

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

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

In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

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

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.

Yes, you can weigh your car by figuring out your wheel's tire pressure combined with the "tire's footprint." You'll need someone with a car, driver's license, and safety in mind.

In this activity, learners explore the concepts of structural engineering and how to measure the critical load, or the maximum weight a structure can bear.

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

In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).

In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.

In this activity, learners make a scale model of an atom to see how big or how small an atom is compared to its nucleus. Learners will realize that most of matter is just empty space!

In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

In this activity, learners make cool boxes out of old (or new) greeting cards or postcards.
