This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

In this activity, learners investigate whether more people are squares or rectangles. People with similarly sized heights and arm spans are classified as squares.

This activity (located on page 2 of PDF) introduces learners to the real size of animals using nonstandard measurement.

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 use their senses to collect information about a fruit and record their findings in a Science Journal.

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 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 activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons and anatomy. Learners make observations about a T. rex skeleton diagram and then measure the skeleton length and width.

This is an activity about turbidity, or the amount of sediment suspended in water.

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.

This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).

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