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 .

This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

Straws and pipe cleaners are terrific materials for building models of pyramids and cubes.

In this Cyberchase activity, learners make carpenter's squares and use them to measure square corners. Learners cut out the carpenter's square template and attach it to tagboard.

In this Cyberchase activity, learners use math to explore how parts of the body are proportional.

In this activity, learners will predict the size of a giant scale model of a comb or other rectangular object, then make one. If you tripled the size of a dollar bill, could you sit on it?

In this math activity, learners jump and measure how far they can jump on different surfaces using different jumping techniques.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

In this activity, learners follow clues to find five puzzle pieces, then assemble them. This activity works well with a whole group, individuals, or families.

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

In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.

Using a real-size sketch of a baby elephant's footprint, learners estimate, measure and record the width (diameter) and outside edge length (perimeter or circumference) of the footprint.

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

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 (located on page 4 of PDF), learners gain insight into the actual size of dinosaurs and practice making estimations and measurements.

Put the math of measurement, numbers, and everyday life into improvisational skits.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most to learn about the different sizes of dinosaurs.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

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.
