In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

In this activity, learners will conduct an open-ended survey, and then organize and analyze results. What languages does everyone speak? What’s the most common? the least common?

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

In this activity, learners use whale count data from the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary to compare whale counts in relation to environmental factors.

In this activity, learners use Starburst® candy to sort, classify, compare, and graph. Learners grab a handful of one-inch candy squares, sort them by color, graph the candy, and discuss the results.

In this math activity, learners jump and measure how far they can jump on different surfaces using different jumping techniques.

In this activity, learners keep track of how much paper the group uses in a week. Build awareness of paper waste, while strengthening measurement and estimation skills.

Combine math and exercise with this activity. Learners count how many times in a row they can skip rope or throw and catch a ball.

This activity (page 2) draws upon a familiar, computer-based concept related to visual resolution: pixilation.

Learners work as a group to create a map of their community. They use pasta to represent people, and glue the pasta on their maps to show areas of large population.

In this math lesson, learners record and graph plant growth and interpret data. Learners plant seeds, and once the seeds sprout, record the change in height of the plants for several days.

Put the math of measurement, numbers, and everyday life into improvisational skits.

In this math lesson, learners measure, predict and determine the frequency of an event as it relates to how close Whirlybirds land to a target.

In this activity, learners will collect and analyze data to learn about the people around them. How many letters in everyone’s first name? What’s the most common number of letters?

In this activity (page 12), learners apply the concepts of pixilation and pointillism to the world of biomedical science.
