Preschool to Grade 2: Make a Boat
Will a toy car float? How about a tin pie plate? In this short video from The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That!, Nick and Sally test some objects in their backyard wading pool (a bathtub makes a good substitute), to see what will float and what won’t.

In this video segment from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad must remove a voice box from a giant statue without touching the laser alarms that protect it. They need an exact measurement, and your student will be asked to help! A ruler is needed.

In this interactive math game, learners explore mean, media, mode, range and how to recognize which central tendency best represents a set of data.
