In this Cyberchase activity, learners use math to explore how parts of the body are proportional.

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

In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.

Using a real-size sketch of a baby elephant's footprint, learners estimate, measure and record the width (diameter) and outside edge length (perimeter or circumference) of the footprint.

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

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.

In this activity (located on page 4 of PDF), learners gain insight into the actual size of dinosaurs and practice making estimations and measurements.

In this activity, learners compare the ancient Egyptian system of measurement, which was based on body lengths, to the customary and metric systems used today.
