In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most to learn about the different sizes of dinosaurs.

In this game, learners explore the different sizes of things in the world. In this Twister-like game, learners must place a hand or foot on a circle of the right scale - macro, micro, or nano.

This simple activity uses paper and scissors to convey two key concepts to learners: the nanoscale is very small and working on the nanoscale requires special tools.

In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

In this math activity, learners pretend there is a special store that lets you pay for toys by their weight in pennies.

In this activity, learners will build thier own balance scale. Learners will explore weight and comparison through this activity.

In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.

“Exploring the Solar System: Big Sun, Small Moon” is a hands-on activity that explores the concept of apparent size and allows visitors to experience this phenomena using familiar objects—a tennis bal

This activity (located on page 2 of PDF) introduces learners to the real size of animals using nonstandard measurement.

In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.

In this activity, learners create a kind of balance device using a wire coat hanger, some string, and paper cups.

This Exploratorium activity explores size and scale. Through four levels of screen sizes, learners can sort out objects of different sizes.
