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 physics activity, learners experiment with soap bubbles to see what variables affect their size. They explore how soap film and bubbles always seek the smallest surface area possible.

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.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

In this activity, learners will predict the size of a giant scale model of a comb or other rectangular object, then make one. If you tripled the size of a dollar bill, could you sit on it?

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

In this activity, learners will participate in a scavenger hunt involving sizes, shapes, and numbers. This activity works well with a whole group, individuals, or families.

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

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

In this activity, learners discover the primary physical properties used to separate pure substances from mixtures.

In this lesson, learners cut paper into very small pieces to explore the small size of quarks, the smallest thing we know of on Earth.

In this activity (page 32 of PDF), learners investigate the nutritional needs of healthy bones and muscles.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

Put the math of measurement, numbers, and everyday life into improvisational skits.

In this activity, learners follow clues to find five puzzle pieces, then assemble them. This activity works well with a whole group, individuals, or families.

In this physics activity, learners explore how sound is created by vibrations.
