In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

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

In this activity, learners use recycled materials to build a bridge that holds as many potatoes as possible. They investigate weight, height, strength, and measurement as they seek design solutions.

In this activity, learners mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.

In this activity, learners make an astrolabe, a device used for measuring altitude, including the height of objects in the sky.

Put math of measurement into lining up — and make waiting in line fun. Choose a size characteristic that learners can physically compare, such as foot length or hair length.

This activity combines learning about nutrition, math of measurement and proportion, and healthy eating. Start by distributing food packages with Nutrition Facts labeled.
