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

In this activity, learners will rate the day, a book, or something else on a scale from -2 to 2. This activity works well for groups of all ages.

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 build a scale model of the solar system using a roll of toilet paper.

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

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

In this math lesson, learners estimate distances between landmarks and use a map and scales to determine the actual distances.

In this activity, learners make a scale model of an atom to see how big or how small an atom is compared to its nucleus. Learners will realize that most of matter is just empty space!

In this activity related to Archimedes' Principle, learners use water displacement to compare the volume of an expanded gummy bear with a gummy bear in its original condition.

This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under What's Nano? Activity) about size and scale.

In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

In this three/four-day lesson, learners calculate perimeters and areas and draw the castle plan to scale.

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

In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).

In this math activity, learners will create a scale diagram of their backyard or other outdoor area on graph paper.

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.
