Building Blocks
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 32 of PDF), learners investigate the nutritional needs of healthy bones and muscles.
Big and Little Cups
Source Institutions
In this indoor or outdoor water activity, learners pour water from small cups to large cups and containers. In doing so, they discover water takes the shape of its container.

Size, Scale and Models
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.
Paper Bag Skits: Using Size and Measurement
Source Institutions
Put the math of measurement, numbers, and everyday life into improvisational skits.
Piece It Together: Puzzle Hunt
Source Institutions
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.

Body Biographies
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will learn about a person they admire (famous, family or otherwise) or even themselves and create a life-sized silhouette.

Soap-Film Interference Model: Get on our wavelength!
Source Institutions
By making models of light waves with paper, learners can understand why different colors appear in bubbles.

The Gator Pie Game
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore fractions as they help gators share pies.

A Swell Activity with Beans
Source Institutions
In this combination chemistry and physics activity, learners explore water absorption in dried beans or peas and learn how this affects their physical properties.

Volume, Mass, and Density Boxes
Source Institutions
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can utilize it to investigate volume, mass, and density.
Wheel of Fitness
Source Institutions
In this fun activity for any size group, early elementary learners complete physical challenges while playing a game. Learners add new challenges to the "wheel of fitness" that they want to try.

Size It Up
Source Institutions
In this artistic activity, learners blow up a smaller picture into a larger one, by using a grid.

Lean, Mean Information Machine: Using a Simple Model to Learn about Chromosomal DNA

Perspectives: Powers of 10
Source Institutions
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.

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

Exploring Forces: Static Electricity
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.

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

Horton Senses Something Small
Source Institutions
In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.

Special Effects: Titanic and Beyond
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how geometry plays a role in perspective.

Watch It Fly
Source Institutions
