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

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 "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 math lesson, learners rotate through six estimating and measuring centers. First, learners read the book, "Room for Ripley" by Stuart J.

In this activity, learners measure and calculate the amount of cubic feet various containers contain. Next, learners investigate cubic feet per second (cps), by carrying jugs in one second.

In this outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

This activity is designed to let learners measure their reaction time or response time to something they see.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of their shadow from the Sun and compare it three to four months later.

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 (on page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

In this activity, learners investigate whether more people are squares or rectangles. People with similarly sized heights and arm spans are classified as squares.

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

This activity introduces the idea that computer scientists measure information by how "surprising" a message is.

In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth.

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

Create a “Find Someone” list, with about 10 items, each containing a shape, number, or measurement. Can you find someone in the group with hair about 4 inches long? Someone wearing parallel lines?

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

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 will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.
