This is an activity that models the operation of a seismograph, a tool used to measure the size of earthquakes.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

In this activity, learners confront their perceptions of gravity in the solar system.

In this activity, learners model the gravitational fields of planets on a flexible surface.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

Straws and pipe cleaners are terrific materials for building models of pyramids and cubes.

In this indoor or outdoor water activity, learners pour water from small cups to large cups and containers. In doing so, they discover water takes the shape of its container.

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 math activity, each learner creates a book about themselves using a template. Learners discuss the different parts of the body and practice measuring their body parts using crayons.

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 make cool boxes out of old (or new) greeting cards or postcards.

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