In this hands-on and feet-on excursion, learners take a science walk to visualize the planet's immense size and numerous structures, without the usual scale and ratio dimensions found in most textbook

In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their weight in pennies.

In this activity, learners build a 1:140 "scale model" of NASA's X-33 Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) Technology Demonstrator, and investigate how the model dimensions compare to the real vehicle.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most. Then, learners estimate the size of a Triceratops and T.

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 oceanography and data collection activity, learners cast real time sea state conditions using buoys from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center.

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 explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most to learn about the different sizes of dinosaurs.

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

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

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons.

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

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

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

Learners examine the manufacturing process while they make picture frames from cereal boxes.

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.
