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

Exploring Size: Scented Balloons
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use their sense of smell to explore the world on the nanoscale.

Number Sense and Computation: Food For Thought
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners identify and compare unit costs of given items. Learners use computation skills, problem solving and number sense to find the cost of an ounce of cereal.

Explore Like a Scientist: Fruity Observations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use their senses to collect information about a fruit and record their findings in a Science Journal.
Penny Estimation
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners estimate how many pennies are in a jar by predicting and counting handfuls of pennies.

Metric Capers
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners measure familiar objects in nature to practice working with the metric system.

Size It Up
Source Institutions
In this artistic activity, learners blow up a smaller picture into a larger one, by using a grid.

Finding the Size of the Sun and Moon
