In this game, learners explore the different sizes of things in the world. In this Twister-like game, learners must place a hand or foot on a circle of the right scale - macro, micro, or nano.

In this activity, learners will estimate the sizes of balls to learn how to estimate the size of hail. Learners will compare their estimates to the estimates of their peers and the real measurements.

In this activity, learners "go fishing," then practice ruler use and size/pattern comparison with the animals they catch.

In this activity, learners observe mixtures of sand samples glued to note cards, and consider how sand can differ in size, shape, and color, and where it comes from.

Investigate a flower's power of marketing by making an imitation flower that successfully signals a bee (or other pollinator of your choice) to visit.

In this two-part activity, learners explore the Earth and Sun's positions in relation to the constellations of the ecliptic with a small model.

In this collecting/comparing activity, learners work with samples of sand from different places like a lakefront, river, or ocean beach.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners collect and sort leaf samples to determine how many types of plants grow in the activity site.

This activity uses a special paper that can create images with exposure to the Sun. Collect objects of different shapes and sizes and use them to make interesting patterns on your sun print.

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

Learners construct a bird feeder from re-used materials. After hanging their feeder, they keep a journal about what birds visit the feeder.

In this activity/demonstration, learners observe what happens when two ping pong balls are suspended in the air by a hair dryer. Use this activity to demonstrate how rain drops grow by coalescence.

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

In this activity/demo, learners examine a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics the behavior of the gecko foot.
