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 place cards featuring biological structures in order by their relative size from largest to smallest.

In this activity, learners explore a scale by comparing objects, which look similar but have different weights. Learners predict and then measure the weights of various objects using a scale.

In this activity on page 15 of the PDF, discover how materials and physical forces behave differently at the nanoscale.

In this activity, learners will construct a device to blow bubbles. By adding corn syrup to the bubble solution, we can increase the surface tension of the bubbles--and their size.

In this activity, young learners will describe objects by their properties and sort by color, weight and texture. This activity uses household items and toys for materials.

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

In this activity, learners compare different types of salt crystals under a magnifying glass.

In this activity, learners investigate static electricity using everyday objects at four different stations.

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 use cardboard bases and track tubes to make a ball run to explore the properties of mass, force, and motion.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners (with adult help and supervision) investigate how heat affects polystyrene plastic.

In this activity (pages 7-16), learners model various crystal structures with LEGOs. This activity also contains additional links that explain how to create other crystal structures.

In this quick activity about predicting (located on page 2 of the PDF under Where's Nano?

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

As a group, learners investigate three packages which are all the same size and shape, but have different contents. One is filled with foam, one is filled with wood, and one is filled with metal.
