Learners measure irregularly shaped bones using a variety of measurement methods and tools. Then, they measure again using standard conventions and metric tape measures.

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.

In this highly physical outdoor activity, learners construct and compare experimental trail sections to select the best trail-construction technique for their site.

In this activity, learners work in pairs to measure each other's ankles with lengths of string.

In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

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 hook up a hair to a lever system and create a hair hygrometer to measure changes in humidity.

Get all wrapped up in a lesson about skin!

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

In this activity, learners test exhaled breath for carbon dioxide and learn how to use an indicator as a simple way to measure pH.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

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.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.
