In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their weight in pennies.

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

In this activity, young learners use different-sized paper 'caterpillars' and various household items to predict and measure their height.

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.

In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

In this math lesson, learners explore and investigate measurement using standard and non-standard units.

In this activity, learners of all ages can become food scientists by experimenting with flour and water to make basic pasta.

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

How do you measure a bubble when it's floating? You can't really, but in this activity, learners can measure the diameter of the ring of suds a bubble leaves on a flat surface.

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.
