In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.

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.

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 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 activity, learners model the gravitational fields of planets on a flexible surface.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

In this physics activity, learners construct a small-scale version of a classic carnival game.
