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

In this activity, learners build a paper stellated rhombic dodecahedron, a three-dimensional 12-pointed star.

In this activity, learners explore scale by using building cubes to see how changing the length, width, and height of a three-dimensional object affects its surface area and its volume.

In this activity (page 18 of PDF), learners will measure the volume of impact craters created by projectiles of different masses.

In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

In this activity, learners investigate the relative growth of lengths, areas, and volumes as cylinders are scaled up.

Make snack time into measuring time and learn to read Nutrition Facts labels. Try this when you’re using “pourable” foods, such as cereal, yoghurt, or juice.

In this activity, learners build a water squirter using a PVC pipe, dowel, and foam. This activity is great for the summer time and introduces learners to forces and water pressure.

In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).

In this activity, learners make cool boxes out of old (or new) greeting cards or postcards.

In this activity (page 23 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to determine how the size and mass of a projectile affects the area and the volume of an impact crater.

In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.
