In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratio and proportion to determine the length of the Statue of Liberty's torch-bearing arm.

In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

In this math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length. Learners first read "How Big is a Foot" by Rolf Myller and learn about units.

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

In this activity, learners measure and calculate the amount of cubic feet various containers contain. Next, learners investigate cubic feet per second (cps), by carrying jugs in one second.

In this math lesson, learners rotate through various centers while comparing and ordering objects according to length.

In this nutrition and estimation activity (page 12 of PDF), learners estimate serving sizes of different foods and compare their estimates to serving size information provided on nutrition food labels

In this activity, learners will predict the size of a giant scale model of a comb or other rectangular object, then make one. If you tripled the size of a dollar bill, could you sit on it?

In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most. Then, learners estimate the size of a Triceratops and T.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

In this health activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will explore a unique connection betweeen the bones of the body.

In this activity, learners use recycled materials to build a bridge that holds as many potatoes as possible. They investigate weight, height, strength, and measurement as they seek design solutions.

In this math lesson, learners use inchworm measuring tools to measure the lengths of several objects in the room.

In this activity, learners use their senses to collect information about a fruit and record their findings in a Science Journal.

In this math lesson, learners participate in several activities where they apply measurement skills.

In this math lesson, learners rotate through six estimating and measuring centers. First, learners read the book, "Room for Ripley" by Stuart J.

In this math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length.

In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

In this activity, learners discover the importance of maps and scale as they work together to create a map of the classroom.
