In this activity, learners explore how spring scales work and how they are used for non-exact weight measurement.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers use scales and measures when designing a manufacturing process to ensure that final products are uniform in weight or count.

This lesson focuses on how to measure at the nanoscale and provides learners with an understanding how small a nanometer really is.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners investigate Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPM) and then work in teams using a pencil to explore and identify the shape of objects they cannot see, just as SPMs do at the nano

This lesson focuses on two simple activities that younger learners can do to gain an appreciation of nanotechnology. First, learners measure their hands in nanometers.

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

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

This lesson focuses on how materials behave differently as their surface area increases.

In this activity, learners explore how wind energy can be generated on both a large and small scale.
