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

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners visualize the relative size and structural differences between microbes that have the potential to cause disease.

In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).

In this activity, learners are challenged to calculate their own weight on various planets using a scale and calculator. Older learners may be challenged to do so without using calculators.

In this activity, learners work in groups to create a time line representing significant moments in their lives.

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

In this math lesson, learners use fruit to learn about proportions and percentages. Learners compare the weights of the edible and non-edible portions of fruit.

Learners build a simple hovercraft using air from a balloon to levitate a craft made from a compact disc (CD).

In this activity, learners try pouring water out of a regular cup and a miniature cup. It’s harder than it sounds! Learners discover that different forces dominate at different size scales.

In this astronomy activity, learners create a model of the solar system using beads and string.

This simple activity uses paper and scissors to convey two key concepts to learners: the nanoscale is very small and working on the nanoscale requires special tools.

“Exploring the Solar System: Big Sun, Small Moon” is a hands-on activity that explores the concept of apparent size and allows visitors to experience this phenomena using familiar objects—a tennis bal

Learners examine collisions between two skateboards carrying different masses. They learn about conservation of momentum in collisions.

This game presents you with several different choices you can make in the course of your everyday life to increase your level of physical activity and be healthier.

Learners construct and use a "real" 3D coordinate system out of balsa wood and foam core. They will then be able to locate coordinates in space.

Learners observe and discuss a simple model of a wet scrubber, a device for cleaning industrial air pollution.

Based of the The Tech Challenge 2015, learners will engage in two mini-design challenges related to seismic engineering.

Learners build structures from spaghetti and marshmallows to determine which structures are able to handle the greatest load.
