In this activity, learners make a scale model of the Solar System and learn the real definition of "space." Learners use the online calculator to create an appropriate scale to use as a basis for thei

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

In this activity, learners plan and create a 24-foot long, two-dimensional model of our solar system, and compare and contrast the differences between planets and the sun.

In this math lesson, learners identify the likelihood of an event by using a walk-on probability scale.

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 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 will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

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 use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

Learners tour their school or home looking for sources of indoor air pollutants (IAPs).

In this graphing exercise (page 2 of the pdf), learners compare their own height to the length of various sharks.

In this science and language arts activity, learners study fish anatomy and make their very own 3D paper fish.

In this activity, learners make a model of a beehive using simple materials.

In this lesson, learners cut paper into very small pieces to explore the small size of quarks, the smallest thing we know of on Earth.

To convey the concept of how animals adapt to survive, this game asks learners to imagine what adaptations a given animal would need to live in a certain environment—including environments where such

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 activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.
