In this activity, learners explore a scale by comparing objects, which look similar but have different weights. Learners predict and then measure the weights of various objects using a scale.

In this quick activity about size and scale (on page 2 of the PDF under What's Nano?

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 watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

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.

In this activity, learners help create and then navigate an outdoor course of the traditional "planets" (including dwarf planet Pluto), which are represented by small common objects.

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

In this space science activity, learners work together to create a human-powered orrery to model the movements of the four inner planets.

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

In this activity, learners use measurement concepts to make models of what their body parts might look like if they were a snake or a chameleon.

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.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity, learners use their bodies to measure a room. Instead of inches or feet, how many kids does it take to measure the length of a room?

In this activity, learners place cards featuring biological structures in order by their relative size from largest to smallest.

In this activity on page 1 of the PDF, learners compare the relative sizes of biological objects (like DNA and bacteria) that can't be seen by the naked eye.

Using information from the My Place in Space lithograph, learners write and/or draw a postcard to friends and family as if they had gone beyond the interstellar boundary of our Solar System, into the

In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.

This activity (located on page 2 of PDF) introduces learners to the real size of animals using nonstandard measurement.
