The Length of My Foot
Source Institutions
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.

Counting With Quadrants
Source Institutions
Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

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

Line Up: Using Math To Stand In Line
Source Institutions
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.

How Big Were the Dinosaurs?
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 4 of PDF), learners gain insight into the actual size of dinosaurs and practice making estimations and measurements.

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

A Book About Me
Source Institutions
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.

Experiencing Parallax With Your Thumb
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

Seedy Travelers
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 18-28), learners explore how the shape of seeds affects how they are dispersed by wind, birds, ocean currents and other means.

Stepping Out: Hop, Skip, Jump
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.

Traveling Seeds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make three different "seed" types and determine which design flies the farthest.

Elephant Foot
Source Institutions
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.

Exploring Size: Measure Yourself
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.

Size, Scale and Models
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

Measurement: It Takes Ten
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners practice estimation and measurement skills as they move from station to station calculating length, volume, weight, and area.

Supersize That Dinosaur
Source Institutions
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.

Exploring Size: Scented Solutions
Source Institutions
This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).

Turbidity
Source Institutions
This is an activity about turbidity, or the amount of sediment suspended in water.

Egyptian Measuring
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners compare the ancient Egyptian system of measurement, which was based on body lengths, to the customary and metric systems used today.

Compare Dinosaur Body Parts
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most to learn about the different sizes of dinosaurs.
