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 will train to improve lung, heart, and other muscle endurance as they walk a progressive, measured distance.

In this activity, learners use their estimation skills to match the unmarked containers to their amounts.

Yes, you can weigh your car by figuring out your wheel's tire pressure combined with the "tire's footprint." You'll need someone with a car, driver's license, and safety in mind.

In this mathematics activity, learners use a map to determine the coordinates of and distance between two locations--both by road and "as the crow flies".

In this activity, learners explore a scale by comparing objects, which look similar but have different weights. Learners predict and then measure the weights of various objects using a scale.

In this online activity, learners adjust mountain snowfall and temperature to see how glaciers grow and shrink. They will use scientific tools to measure thickness, velocity and glacial budget.

In this activity, learners discover the importance of maps and scale as they work together to create a map of the classroom.

In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.

In this activity, learners make a scale model of an atom to see how big or how small an atom is compared to its nucleus. Learners will realize that most of matter is just empty space!

In this activity, learners interpret three trackways and use measurements and a formula to infer the relative speed of dinosaurs.

In this activity (9th activity on the page), learners work in pairs to see how their perception of touch differs from reality.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Kinetic Sculpture Challenge Activity), learners will predict which objects have to overcome the most static friction to slide down a ramp.

These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How many colors can you name in a minute? or How many seconds can you balance on one foot?

In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

In this online activity, learners measure their pulse rates and investigate how their pulses change when they engage in different activities.

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

In this experiment, pairs of learners explore how cold water affects circulation. The mammalian diving reflex (MDR) slows circulation when the body is exposed to cold water.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers incorporate biometric technologies into products as well as the challenges of engineers who must weigh privacy, security and other issues when designin

Use this hands-on activity to demonstrate infrared and thermal radiation.
