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

In this Cyberchase activity, learners make carpenter's squares and use them to measure square corners. Learners cut out the carpenter's square template and attach it to tagboard.

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 activity, learners mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.

This lesson focuses on how to measure at the nanoscale and provides learners with an understanding how small a nanometer really is.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

This simple activity uses paper and scissors to convey two key concepts to learners: the nanoscale is very small and working on the nanoscale requires special tools.

In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete
