In this activity, learners explore how spring scales work and how they are used for non-exact weight measurement.

In this activity, learners explore the relative size of the Sun and Earth as well as the distance between them.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.

If you have 3-foot dowels and rubber bands, you can can started on this fun and open design challenge. You can make structures big and small: make it so you can fit your parent into it!

In this activity, learners examine body parts (including skin, scales, and skulls) from fish, mammals and reptiles. Questions are provided to help encourage learner investigations.

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

In this activity, learners build a scale model of the solar system using a roll of toilet paper.

In this activity, learners make scale models of the Sun and Earth out of paper mache.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores the relative sizes of various objects. Learners compete to organize their hand of cards into lists of objects from largest to smallest.

In this game, learners explore the different sizes of things in the world. In this Twister-like game, learners must place a hand or foot on a circle of the right scale - macro, micro, or nano.

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

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

In this activity, learners explore acids and bases by preparing six solutions that combine vinegar and ammonia, ranging from acid (all vinegar) to base (all ammonia).

In this nanoscience activity, learners discover that it's easy to pour water out of a regular-sized cup, but not out of a miniature cup.

In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

Visitors prepare six solutions combining vinegar and ammonia that range incrementally from acid (all vinegar) to base (all ammonia).

In this activity, learners investigate how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink.

In this online interactive challenge, learners choose items to represent the Earth or solar system, then determine other items to represent the Moon, or Milky Way based on their relative size.

Learners make their own simple slide rules out of paper and learn how they work.
