Learners investigate weight by building a spring scale. They observe and record how it responds to objects with different masses.

In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

This lesson focuses on how to measure at the nanoscale and provides learners with an understanding how small a nanometer really is.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete

In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

Learners use a spring scale to drag an object such as a ceramic coffee cup along a table top or the floor.

In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

In this activity, learners perform an experiment to find out what determines a flower's color.

Learners build simple catapults and use them to launch cotton balls.

Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.

Learners build a simple electromagnet, then use this electromagnet to transform a yogurt container into a working speaker. They can connect their speaker to a radio and listen as it transmits sound.

In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

Learners use red cabbage juice and pH indicator paper to test the acidity and basicity of household materials. The activity links this concept of acids and bases to acid rain and other pollutants.

In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe

In this chemistry activity, learners make indicator solution from red cabbage. Then, learners test everyday foods and household substances using the cabbage juice indicator.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

In this activity, learners examine the culture and history of the tomb site.
