Life Size: What's in a microbe?
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners visualize the relative size and structural differences between microbes that have the potential to cause disease.

Size Wheel
Source Institutions
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).

Animals are Amazing!
Source Institutions
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.

Personal Time Line
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in groups to create a time line representing significant moments in their lives.

Exploring Size: Measure Yourself
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.

Moving to a Healthier Life
Source Institutions
This game presents you with several different choices you can make in the course of your everyday life to increase your level of physical activity and be healthier.

Washing Air
Learners observe and discuss a simple model of a wet scrubber, a device for cleaning industrial air pollution.

The Search for Secret Agents
Learners tour their school or home looking for sources of indoor air pollutants (IAPs).

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

What am I?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.

A Merry-Go-Round for Dirty Air
Learners build a model of a pollution control device--a cyclone. A cyclone works by whirling the polluted air in a circle and accumulating particles on the edges of the container.

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

Life Size: Line 'em up!
Source Institutions
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.

Cleaning Air with Balloons
Learners observe a simple balloon model of an electrostatic precipitator. These devices are used for pollutant recovery in cleaning industrial air pollution.

The Colors of Flowers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners perform an experiment to find out what determines a flower's color.

Design-a-Fish
Source Institutions
In this science and language arts activity, learners study fish anatomy and make their very own 3D paper fish.

Horton Senses Something Small
Source Institutions
In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.

Straining Out the Dirt
Learners take on the role of environmental engineers as they design water filters.

Modeling Limits to Cell Size
Source Institutions
This investigation provides learners with a hands-on activity that simulates the changing relationship of surface areas-to-volume for a growing cell.

Chew that Gum
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory), learners will investigate what happens to bubble gum when it is chewed for 5-10 minutes.
