In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

In this self-measuring activity, learners measure and record the length of their foot.

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

Learners measure irregularly shaped bones using a variety of measurement methods and tools. Then, they measure again using standard conventions and metric tape measures.

In this activity, learners will be able to measure themselves in nanometers. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, a unit of measurement used in nanotechnology.

In this math lesson, learners use inchworm measuring tools to measure the lengths of several objects in the room.

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 use their feet to estimate distances. Learners calculate the distance of one step in centimeters by measuring 10 steps at a time to reduce measurement error.

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

In this math activity, learners create their own units of measurement by making noodle rulers. Learners practice estimating and measuring objects using the noodle rulers .

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners use their bodies to measure a room. Instead of inches or feet, how many kids does it take to measure the length of a room?

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 use an astrolabe to measure the altitude of objects. Learners will first practice taking measurements by measuring the altitude of trees and buildings.

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 math activity, learners use non-standard measurement (paces) to find the distance from one point to another. Learners practice estimating and measuring distances .

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.

In this activity, young learners and their caregivers use non-standard tools, like M&Ms and paper clips, to measure things around their home.

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.

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.

In this Cyberchase activity, have fun measuring volumes and enjoy a delicious shake.
