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.

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 .

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

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

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

In this activity, learners work in pairs to measure each other's ankles with lengths of string.

In this activity, learners keep track of how much paper the group uses in a week. Build awareness of paper waste, while strengthening measurement and estimation skills.

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

This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.

In this math activity, learners trace their hands and estimate the number of beans that can fit into their hand tracings. Then, learners glue the beans to the tracing to test out their estimations.

In this exercise (Activity #2 on page), learners test their distance vision to evaluate their overall eyesight.

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

This activity combines learning about nutrition, math of measurement and proportion, and healthy eating. Start by distributing food packages with Nutrition Facts labeled.

The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.

Build a hydrometer (measures the density of a liquid) using a pipet or eyedropper.

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, learners "go fishing," then practice ruler use and size/pattern comparison with the animals they catch.

In this activity, learners explore how and why rainbows form by creating rainbows in a variety of ways using simple materials. Learners create rainbows indoors and outdoors.
