In this activity, young learners use different-sized paper 'caterpillars' and various household items to predict and measure their height.

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

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 fun hands-on activity, learners use simple materials to investigate evaporation. How can the evaporation of water on a hot day be used to cool an object? Find out the experimental way!

In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

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

In this math lesson, learners explore and investigate measurement using standard and non-standard units.

In this math lesson, learners practice measurement skills as they examine a soap bubble print. Learners follow a recipe to make a soap bubble solution.

In this activity, learners of all ages can become food scientists by experimenting with flour and water to make basic pasta.

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

In this activity, learners make an astrolabe, a device used for measuring altitude, including the height of objects in the sky.

In this math lesson, learners practice estimation and measurement skills as they move from station to station calculating length, volume, weight, and area.

How do you measure a bubble when it's floating? You can't really, but in this activity, learners can measure the diameter of the ring of suds a bubble leaves on a flat surface.

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.

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.

In this activity, learners use their hands as tools for indirect measurement.

In this activity, learners make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.
