In this activity, learners will train to improve lung, heart, and other muscle endurance as they walk a progressive, measured distance.

In this activity, learners "go fishing," then practice ruler use and size/pattern comparison with the animals they catch.

In this activity, caregivers and young learners work together to make a scale from household materials to compare different weights--an essential principle in early math.

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.

In this activity, learners use their estimation skills to match the unmarked containers to their amounts.

In this chemistry activity, learners will test the pH of various foods and household substances using cabbage.

In this activity, learners use geometry in observing the shapes and angles soap bubbles create when they join together.

In this activity, learners build their own magnetometer using an empty soda bottle, magnets, laser pointer, and household objects.

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

In this activity, learners will use their chosen material to build the tallest tower possible in under three minutes. This activity uses problem solving and fine motor skills to challenge learners.

In this weather activity (page 1 of the PDF), learners will construct their very own anemometer to measure wind speed.

In this math activity, learners will create a scale diagram of their backyard or other outdoor area on graph paper.

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 how and why rainbows form by creating rainbows in a variety of ways using simple materials. Learners create rainbows indoors and outdoors.

In this activity, learners are challenged to calculate their own weight on various planets using a scale and calculator. Older learners may be challenged to do so without using calculators.

In this activity, learners will construct a measuring device (snake "string") to improve their observation skills.

In this mathematics activity, learners use a map to determine the coordinates of and distance between two locations--both by road and "as the crow flies".

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

In this math activity, learners observe and sketch cracking patterns in pavement.

In this activity (page 11 of the PDF), learners investigate how quickly water moves through various materials. They measure and compare the permeability of gravel, sand, and soil.
