Make snack time into measuring time and learn to read Nutrition Facts labels. Try this when you’re using “pourable” foods, such as cereal, yoghurt, or juice.

In this activity about scale, learners investigate the world of the very small by cutting a 28 centimeter strip of paper in half as many times as they can.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Gecko Feet Activity) about the forces of gravity and surface tension and how their behavior is influenced by size.

In this activity, learners will observe how air interacts with a paper helicopter. Learners will test different variables of weight, size, and shape.

Learners investigate how drag affects the falling rate of objects.

In this activity, learners conduct a simple test to find their blind spot.

In this activity, learners control the (apparent) size of a hole with their brain.

In this activity, learners create a straw oboe to explore sound and pitch.

In this activity, learners engineer a flying glider using paper hoops and a drinking straw.

This lesson focuses on how to measure at the nanoscale and provides learners with an understanding how small a nanometer really is.

Learners build at least two different spinners (tops) to investigate how mass distribution, size, and shape affect the length of time the spinner spins.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Luge Activity), learners will construct a model hovercraft out of an empty spool and a piece of cardboard.

This is an activity about circular motion. Learners will explore the laws of motion and force by observing circular motion.

This activity generates learner excitement about light through the creation of a room-sized rainbow.

In this activity, learners explore Charles' Law in a syringe.

In this activity related to light and perception, learners use a pinhole in an index card as a magnifying glass to help their eye focus on a nearby object.

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 activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.
