In this activity, learners play a card game that explores the relative sizes of various objects. Learners compete to organize their hand of cards into lists of objects from largest to smallest.

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.

In this activity, learners explore the relative size of the Sun and Earth as well as the distance between them.

In this activity, learners make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.

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 activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.

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

In this activity, learners discover that a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

This is a hands-on activity exploring how nanoscale particles are used in mineral sunblocks to increase their transparency.

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.

In this activity, learners explore the relative sizes and distances of objects in the solar system.

In this lab exercise, learners explore diffusion, cell membranes and particle size using beets and three alcohols.

By making models of light waves with paper, learners can understand why different colors appear in bubbles.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can utilize it to investigate volume, mass, and density.

Learners observe a model of a cell and its chromosomal DNA made from a plastic egg and dental floss. Use this model to illustrate how much DNA is held in one cell.

In this activity, learners complete a series of drawing activities to explore scale and powers of 10. Learners first trace each other on 1-meter-square pieces of paper.

This is an activity/demo in which learners are exposed to the difference bewteen hydrophobic surfaces (water repelling) and hydrophilic surfaces (water loving).

In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

In this activity, learners investigate how geometry plays a role in perspective.
