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.

Measuring the Wind
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.
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.

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.

Measure the Pressure II: The "Dry" Barometer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

Airplane Wing Investigation
Source Institutions
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.
Making Rivers
Source Institutions
In this outdoor water activity, learners explore how to change the direction of water flow. Learners make puddles in dirt or use existing puddles and sticks to make water flow.
Mix & Match Estimation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use their estimation skills to match the unmarked containers to their amounts.

Balancing Act
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build thier own balance scale. Learners will explore weight and comparison through this activity.

Paper Cup Anemometer
Source Institutions
In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

Tired Weight
Source Institutions
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.
Peppy's Day in the Park
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners build Peppy the dog the best trail and park for running around.

Party Hat Symmetry
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners make New Year's Eve party hats out of wrapping paper. Learners use symmetry and measurement to cut out shapes they need to assemble the hats.

Subtracta's Dog
Source Institutions
In this math activity related to volume, learners use problem solving skills to calculate and build a model house for Minus the dog.

Blazing the Trail
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners estimate distances between landmarks and use a map and scales to determine the actual distances.
Penny Estimation
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners estimate how many pennies are in a jar by predicting and counting handfuls of pennies.

Four Corners
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a machine out of cardboard that runs smoothly and dependably. Learners must be precise to make sure their component works properly.

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

Critical Load
Source Institutions
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.
