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, learners mark their height on a height chart and discover how tall they are in nanometers.

In this activity, learners try to put together toy bricks—wearing oven mitts on their hands! This activity shows learners how difficult it is to build small things when your tools are too big.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.

In this activity, learners investigate the concepts of relative size and distance by creating a basic model of the solar system.

This lesson focuses on surface area and how the shape of sugar crystals may differ as they are grown from sugars of different coarseness.

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

In this activity, learners plan and create a 24-foot long, two-dimensional model of our solar system, and compare and contrast the differences between planets and the sun.

In this activity, learners explore the relative size of the Sun and Earth as well as the distance between them.

In this activity, learners map their world by drawing a plan of their bedroom.

In this activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.

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).

This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under What's Nano? Activity) about size and scale.

Learners investigate weight by building a spring scale. They observe and record how it responds to objects with different masses.

In this activity, learners examine the culture and history of the tomb site.

In this activity, learners build a LEGO® structure while wearing mittens. This activity shows learners how difficult it is to build small things when your tools are too big.

In this activity, learners place cards featuring biological structures in order by their relative size from largest to smallest.

In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.

Learners explore water adhesion and learn about why water molecules are more strongly attracted to some substances than others.

In this activity, learners explore how distance can affect the way we perceive the size of an object.
