In this activity, learners are challenged to calculate their own weight on various planets using a scale and calculator. Older learners may be challenged to do so without using calculators.

In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

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 will build thier own balance scale. Learners will explore weight and comparison through this activity.

As a group, learners investigate three packages which are all the same size and shape, but have different contents. One is filled with foam, one is filled with wood, and one is filled with metal.

In this inquiry-based activity, learners investigate the basic forces of flight as they construct their own paper glider that represents a rainforest creature from Borneo (large, tropical island in So

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

Learners will do an experiment to determine which type of paper is strongest while focusing on variables and collecting data.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers use scales and measures when designing a manufacturing process to ensure that final products are uniform in weight or count.

In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their weight in pennies.

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

In this goopy activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will model glacial movement with “gak,” a white glue and liquid starch mixture.

Learners build and investigate pendulums of different lengths. They discover that the longer the string of the pendulum, the longer the time it takes to swing.

Learners examine collisions between two skateboards carrying different masses. They learn about conservation of momentum in collisions.

Learners investigate how drag affects the falling rate of objects.

Learners play the role of materials engineers as they test the flexibility of different materials.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can utilize it to investigate volume, mass, and density.

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

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

In this activity, learners create a kind of balance device using a wire coat hanger, some string, and paper cups.
